Perhaps some environment variable like PATH is not exported, to support mailx ? What about . ./script2.sh?

Also, your script should begin with #!/bin/ksh or the like, see man exec(). Just chmod is not enough. Without, this is usually treated as a bourne shell script: sh <./script2.sh

In script, it is good habit that you provide the full path for executable file such as instead of mailx you can use /usr/bin/mailx...

What's in pwtst, and it usually is simple, so why not just say it?
