I have two scripts that I would like to execute.

Script 1: A script that executes docker run (needs to stay active because if it is closed the docker container stops running)

Script 2: A script that runs docker exec and gets into the docker shell

Problem: I need to run script 1 and script 2 in separate shells because script 1 needs to stay active and cannot be closed.

1. Separating the scripts into two separate files and then running both scripts from one file
2. sh script1.sh & sh script2.sh

Just run it as one big script. When executing/running the docker container use the --detach or -d flag. This ensures, that the container does not stay active in the terminal but moves into the background (it keeps running!).

The docker command would look something like docker run -d ...
