At a guess, the script/service never exits, so Platypus keeps waiting.

Create a shell script to call your service.  In the shell script, call your 
service and put it in the background ("service &", or something like that?).  
Once that works correctly in a shell (Terminal), call the shell script from 
Platypus.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

This is the basic way I've always done it. I hope this is what you mean by 
config.
