Let me explain you clearly. The expectation of script_1 - every month 25th it would run. Script_2 - every day and script_3 every quarterly month end. For eg. if script_1 fails due to any reason on 25th and if i re-run the main_script on 26th. In this scenario script_1 will not run on 26th but i would like to run on 26th because it failed on 25th but i tried re-running on next day or any other day on same month, if i re-run the main_Script for that month then it should script_1 should run. In this scenario if i take script_2 which runs every day shouldn't run for again because it was already successful on 25th daily run
If you want to force the main script to run script_1 learn about getopt/getopts and put in a flag to force the running of script_1:
Now if the date is not the 25th you check to see whether ${force_script1} is set to "true" (the string, not the boolean).
I don't understand why you don't want to run script_2 if you are having to rerun script_1. It's a different day; you are running script_2 daily. Right? Unless the main script is being run daily from cron?
And there is this:
Quote:

which implies that script_2 should not run EVER on the 26th because it ran successfully on the 25th!

calendar
CALENDAR(1) General Commands Manual CALENDAR(1)NAME
calendar - reminder service
SYNOPSIS
calendar [ - ]
DESCRIPTION
Calendar consults the file `calendar' in the current directory and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date anywhere in the
line. Most reasonable month-day dates such as `Dec. 7,' `december 7,' `12/7,' etc., are recognized, but not `7 December' or `7/12'. If
you give the month as ``*'' with a date, i.e. ``* 1'', that day in any month will do. On weekends `tomorrow' extends through Monday.
When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every user who has a file `calendar' in his login directory and sends him any posi-
tive results by mail(1). Normally this is done daily in the wee hours under control of cron(8).
The file `calendar' is first run through the ``C'' preprocessor, /lib/cpp, to include any other calendar files specified with the usual
``#include'' syntax. Included calendars will usually be shared by all users, maintained and documented by the local administration.
FILES
calendar
/usr/libexec/calendar to figure out today's and tomorrow's dates
/etc/passwd
/tmp/cal*
/lib/cpp, egrep, sed, mail as subprocesses

Calendar's extended idea of `tomorrow' doesn't account for holidays.
