Depends on awful lot on the script itself. It''s not necessarily a bad
idea, but...

For instance, how long will the script take to run? Is it OK to tie up a worker
process waiting on it? Does the user expect to see the result/confirmation of
the script''s action right away? Does the user only need to see the
final result, or do they need updates/info on its progress?

Depending on the particulars, it *might* be better to push the request on a
queue, and have another process executing those requests in the background.
There are utilities for this...
