When you say "session" what do you mean? Do you mean you are running
multiple instances of Geany?

If so then they are completely independent processes, so running a
blocking command in one instance will have no effect on the other
instances.

Because the output of build commands is parsed and displayed in the
compiler output tab only one build command can be running at a time or
their output will get mixed up and confused.

So the build menu is blocked whilst a command is running.  So as I
said before, the command needs to start your terminal as a detached
process and exit immediately to get the menu back.  Did you try using
&? On *x commands are run in sh so it should work.
