Handling parallel execution of VI.

Hello!
 
I need some advice consering handling parallel execution of VIs and its buffer. I have an event structure serving a GUI menu of 4 tasks. In addition I have 2 VI for rebooting the device into: 1) boot mode and 2) linux mode. To be able to perform the 4 task one has to be in either boot mode or linux mode for the command lines written to make any sense (VISA, RS232). To make this userfriendly I would like to execute the reboot process either before the task (this is very time consuming) or in parallel (but the "main" task can only take the input in parallel, and has to wait with the "submit" until reboot is finish).  
 
I have tried different solutions, but the main problem seems to be after rebooting once, a given task goes perfectly, but when choosing a second task from the menu, the reboot frontpanel is flashing, and consuming garbage in the read buffer of the main task and interupting the work.
