Douglas,
I realise this is an old thread and you may have moved on but for the
benefit of others that may be coming later the flag you are looking for
is -waitforcompletion e.g.
./client/runInstaller -silent -responseFile ~/client.rsp -ignorePrereq
-waitforcompletion
This prevents the installer from returning to the shell until the
installation is complete.
