Is there any way to execute two bash scripts without the first one blocking? The following does not work:

exec ./script1.sh #this blocks!
exec ./script2.sh

Answer 1

Put & at the end of the line.

./script1.sh & #this doesn't blocks!
./script2.sh

Answer 2

Run the first one in background using & and you should be good.
