Question Have a shell script call another shell script and exit

I have a shell script that calls another shell script "str_process_main" that runs in a loop until a given time. I want the first script to just call the second one and then exit. The first script is:

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
DATE=$(date +%m%d%y)
DPID=$(ps -ef|grep str_process_main|grep -v grep)
if [ "${DPID}" = "" ]; then
   cd /usr/local/wss_polling
   str_process_main
   echo "The process was not running."
else
   echo "The process is already running: $DPID."
fi
exit

The first script just sits there and runs?

check it

just call the second script as

#!/bin/ksh
DATE=$(date +%m%d%y)
DPID=$(ps -ef|grep str_process_main|grep -v grep)
if [ "${DPID}" = "" ]; then
cd /usr/local/wss_polling
. str_process_main
echo "The process was not running."
else
echo "The process is already running: $DPID."
fi
exit

note that the 2nd script is called using a dot (.)
this dot notation runs the second script in the same shell ..i.e calling shell ..
if u call it without using a dot ...then also the script will run ... but in a new shell ..( sub-shell)

run the script with nohup in background

#!/bin/ksh
DATE=$(date +%m%d%y)
DPID=$(ps -ef|grep str_process_main|grep -v grep)
if [ "${DPID}" = "" ]; then
cd /usr/local/wss_polling
nohup str_process_main &
echo "The process was not running."
else
echo "The process is already running: $DPID."
fi
exit
