Bash New Session

Does anyone know of a command line operation that starts a new bash session?
I'm trying to write a script that executes a second bash script, but this script needs to be executed in a new bash session, so the original script can continue without the second script finishing.

You could use an ampersand (& ) at the end of the line.

Code:

#!/bin/bash

# start first script
some.script &

# start second script
some.other.script

some.script will be started 'in the background' and the calling script will not wait for it to finish and in the above example some.other.script will be started.

hope this is what you are looking for.
