jgt: he solution will work, and I'm exploring this option.
ShawnMilo: Your solution is similar to shamrock's conceptually. I'm slightly wary of this solution because it'll involve a lot of manual work. Thanks anyway!
At this stage I'm also exploring the option of actually executing the code and capturing trace (only to EXEC and FORKs) on unix level, to see what scripts get exec'd, which will in effect tell me what commands got executed by shell(s)
I again thank everyone for reading and specially to those who took out time to reply.
Have a custom script call all the others. Then continuously track the process tree of the custom script.
Check man ps for tree options. Minimally have something like

Hello,
I'm creating an add-on for a large piece of software written in Fortran. In my directory I reference subroutines in other directories, which in turn reference more subroutines.
I'm running into trouble because on occasion the developers of the main software change some sub calls.

Hi,
I had a make file, something like that,
all:
cd dir1; make
cd dir2; make
the problem is the makefile under dir2 need some objs from dir1, so I need to set some dependency let dir2 run only after the dir1 run is done.
how to set the dependency?
Thanks.

exec
exec(1) User Commands exec(1)NAME
exec, eval, source - shell built-in functions to execute other commands
SYNOPSIS
sh
exec [argument...]
eval [argument...]
csh
exec command
eval argument...
source [-h] name
ksh
*exec [arg...]
*eval [arg...]
DESCRIPTION
sh
The exec command specified by the arguments is executed in place of this shell without creating a new process. Input/output arguments may
appear and, if no other arguments are given, cause the shell input/output to be modified.
The arguments to the eval built-in are read as input to the shell and the resulting command(s) executed.
csh
exec executes command in place of the current shell, which terminates.
eval reads its arguments as input to the shell and executes the resulting command(s). This is usually used to execute commands generated as
the result of command or variable substitution.
source reads commands from name. source commands may be nested, but if they are nested too deeply the shell may run out of file descrip-
tors. An error in a sourced file at any level terminates all nested source commands.
-h Place commands from the file name on the history list without executing them.
ksh
With the exec built-in, if arg is given, the command specified by the arguments is executed in place of this shell without creating a new
process. Input/output arguments may appear and affect the current process. If no arguments are given the effect of this command is to mod-
ify file descriptors as prescribed by the input/output redirection list. In this case, any file descriptor numbers greater than 2 that are
opened with this mechanism are closed when invoking another program.
The arguments to eval are read as input to the shell and the resulting command(s) executed.
On this man page, ksh(1) commands that are preceded by one or two * (asterisks) are treated specially in the following ways:
1. Variable assignment lists preceding the command remain in effect when the command completes.
2. I/O redirections are processed after variable assignments.
3. Errors cause a script that contains them to abort.
4. Words, following a command preceded by ** that are in the format of a variable assignment, are expanded with the same rules as a vari-
able assignment. This means that tilde substitution is performed after the = sign and word splitting and file name generation are not
performed.
EXIT STATUS
For ksh:
If command is not found, the exit status is 127. If command is found, but is not an executable utility, the exit status is 126. If a redi-
rection error occurs, the shell exits with a value in the range 1-125. Otherwise, exec returns a zero exit status.
