Start the scripts in background and with "nohup". see the man page of "nohup" for details.
If you start them this they will no longer stop when the parent process is killed. This mechanism was originally for making sure a process would be persistent even if its terminal process got killed (hence the name: "no [termination upon] h[ang]up").
Btw., it might be a clever idea to control the processes in question with a PID file in such an environment: when starting them create a temporary file with the PID in it, which can be used to kill the process. This file will also be indicative of a process be running or not.
I hope this helps.
