Child Killing Parent
Hi all,

I am writing a script which calls other third party scripts that perform numerous actions. I have no control over these scripts.

My problem is, one of these scripts seems to execute and do what it is meant to do, but my calling / parent script always exits at that point. I need to figure out a way to call these child scripts, and for them to NEVER touch the parent. I have no idea why it is doing this, but hoping theres a simple way to stop it.

Here is what happens in my main parent script that simply calls other scripts.

Call Script 1
Call Script 2
Call Script 3
EXITS HERE
Script 4 never runs
Script 5 never runs
