execute a script inside another script

Question

I've a script like this:

/root/bin/script1.sh

putting this line inside .bashrc

/root/bin/script1.sh &

script1.sh does not run - the problem is &. Without "&" the script run perfectly

Hello, script1.sh is a long process.. so using ps I can see if does run or not. — Pol Hallen, Nov 14 '15 at 9:49
And is it happy to run in the background normally (ie, from the shell)? — MadHatter supports Monica, Nov 14 '15 at 9:49
Why do you want to put "a long process" into ~/.bashrc of all things? This gets loaded with every connection... — Sven♦, Nov 14 '15 at 9:55

Try putting this into your .bashrc:

( /root/bin/script1.sh & )

This will execute your script inside a subshell.
