I must be missing something. It seems like you are making a very simple problem very complicated.

If you want to build and start a web server and, after the web server starts, start a browser; why not do the build and browser launch in a single script with three steps:
  1. build web server
  2. start web server
  3. start browser
Why do you need two separate scripts that have to do a lot of extra work to coordinate actions in the second script just because there is a second script?
