Running scripts in background

Hi, below is my master script wihch inturn runs 2 scripts in background
Code:
#master_script.sh
./subscript1.sh &
./subscript2.sh &

executed the master_script.sh from unix command prompt
Code:
$ ./master_script.sh

it is executing the subscripts and they are completing fine, however master_script.sh is not coming out (means it is not coming back to command prompt ($)) , i have to press Ctrl+C to come out.

changed master script as below,
Code:
#master_script.sh
./subscript1.sh 2>/dev/null &
./subscript2.sh 2>/dev/null &

Now it is getting redirected to command prompt. My question, is there any way we can write the subscript1, 2 outputs to files (output similar to set -x ) and comes out

NAME
installsieve - user utility for managing sieve scripts SYNOPSIS
installsieve DESCRIPTION
installsieve is a utility that allows users to manage their sieve scripts kept on the server. OPTIONS
-v <name> View script with the given name. The script if retrieved sucessfully is output to standard output. -l List all of the scripts currently on the server. If one of the scripts is active a arrow is printed indicating that it is the active script. -p <port> Port to connect to. If left off this defaults to "sieve" as defined in /etc/services. -i <file> Install a file onto the server. If a script with the same name already exists on the server it is overwritten. Upon sucessfully putting the script on the server the script is set active. If <file> has the extension .script it is chopped when put on the server since sieve names may not contain a '.'. -a <name> Set <name> as the active script. The list of available names can be obtained from the '-l' option.. -d <name> Delete the sieve script on the server with <name>. -m <mechanism> Force installsieve to use <mechanism> for authentication. If not specified the strongest authentication mechanism is chosen. -g <name> Get the sieve script with <name> and save it to disk with a ".script" extension. If a file with that name already exists it is overwritten. -u <user> Userid/Authname to use for authentication; by default, the current user. CMU
