You can check the exit code after each of the four scripts you run, from insode your main script. If the first script exits with a status of 0 then continue with the second and then check it, etc....
eg
#Placing scripts to run in loop
for next in `echo "script1.sh script2.sh script3.sh script4.sh"`
do
/path/to/$next
done=$?
if [ $done -ne 0 ]
then
echo "FAILED - $next"
break
fi
done
If you want to pass arguments to a script you can place them on the command line and capture them inside the script using the standard $1, $2
eg
/path/to/script1.sh arg1 arg2
script1.sh would look like.....
#!/bin/sh
value1=$1
value2=$2
echo "$1 - $2"
Hope this is what your after

sieveshell - remotely manipulate sieve scripts
SYNOPSIS
sieveshell [--user=user] [--authname=authname] [--realm=realm] [--exec=script] server[:port]
sieveshell --help
DESCRIPTION
sieveshell allows users to manipulate their scripts on a remote server. It works via MANAGESIEVE, a work in progress.
The following commands are recognized:
list list scripts on server.
put <filename> upload script to server.
get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout
delete <name> delete script.
activate <name> activate script.
deactivate deactivate all scripts.
OPTIONS
-u user, --user=user
The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.
-a authname, --authname=authname
The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).
-r realm, --realm=realm
The realm to attempt authentication in.
-e script, --exec=script
Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
