Run Batch File from R

I've found a lot of answers on how to run R from a Batch file, but nothing about running a Batch File from R. I know one way to do this is to use system, system2 or shell, but these methods wait for process in the Windows Command Prompt to finish before R accepts another input. I want to run a Batch File which calls a console application that runs indefinitely, and then allow R to do other things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
