You should also take care to set the exit code properly from the script, so that the shell script which collects these can examine it.
I guess something like if OUT_STATUS is "Success" exit 0, otherwise some higher number (0 means success).
You are in control of the first shell script (and if not, create a wrapper script which you are in control of), so simply make it return success (zero) under the conditions when the second and third scripts can be run, and non-zero if not.

NAME
script - make record of a terminal session
SYNOPSIS
script [-a] [filename]
DESCRIPTION
The script utility makes a record of everything printed on your screen. The record is written to filename. If no file name is given, the
record is saved in the file typescript. See WARNINGS.
The script command forks and creates a sub-shell, according to the value of $SHELL, and records the text from this session. The script ends
when the forked shell exits or when Control-d is typed.
OPTIONS
The following option is supported:
-a Appends the session record to filename, rather than overwriting it.
NOTES
script places everything that appears on the screen in filename, including prompts.

privileged user, that is, root. Be sure that typescript is not a link before running script.
