Thanks for the reply,
           Being a newbie to python, I am finding it difficult to
understand the logic even after thorough reading of comments. Is there
any simpler way where I can just run a python script from the main
script and exit without disturbing the second one(This will end based
on some other constraints which can be handled). Or can some one throw
some light on where should I run the function os.system(" python
script2.py") from the main one.

Thank you,
venu
