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...
