What you are asking still does not make sense to me. If script2 completes or fails before script1, then script2 has already completed and does not need to execute.

Try :

Code:

{ script1 || echo "Script 1 failed"; } &
{ script2 || echo "Script 2 failed"; } &
{ script3 || echo "Script 3 failed"; } &
wait
