how to exit out of the calling Shell Script

Hi All,

I tried looking for this, but was not able to get a clear answer. Hence posting here. Please find the details below. Thanks for the help

I have 2 shell scripts, script1.sh and script2.sh. I call script2.sh from within script1.sh ( by simple ./script2.sh command).

Based on some condition, i use exit 0 to exit out of script2.sh. I was trying to find if i can exit out of script1.sh as well at once.

Can anyone please clarify, if there is a way to do that.

below is the example

script1.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash

echo "Before ..."
./script2.sh
echo "After ..."


script2.sh
Code:
#!/bin/bash

# check if a file exists and is not empty, if not empty exit (but i want to  exit out of script1 as well )

if [[ -s err.log ]]; then
     echo " There was problem file is empty "
     cat err.log
     echo " The Script will Exit. Please fix the issue and run again..."
     exit 0
  else
     echo " file is Empty. Proceeding with the next step... "
   fi



----
When i execute below is the output

Before ...
There was problem file is empty
The Script will Exit. Please fix the issue and run again...
After ...

I am trying to exit out of script1.sh as well so that i dont print "After ..."

thanks for the help

edit by bakunin: added code-tags. As this is your first post i will not charge you the usual rate (many, many bits, which will make me stinking rich) out of charity. Still, i would like to see you use them yourself in the future instead of relying on me to provide them afterwards. Thanks for your consideration.
