How about this:

Add the following line to every single shell script (at the top, right after the shebang line, in case the script halts execution somewhere due to a conditional):

Code:

echo -e "$0\t$(date)" >> scripts.log

This way, you'll end up with a log file which will show you which scripts were executed and when. This doesn't directly address your problem of finding out which scripts call which, but you can do that with some fancy grep work. And in any case, I believe the whole point of that was to make sure you weren't leaving unused scripts out there, and this will identify all used scripts.

Note: the $0 in a bash script will be replaced with the name of the current command. If you run that from the command line (outside of a script), it will simply return "bash."
