To be honest, I'm to lazy to read your scripts, but have you tried glueing
them together with some bash?
Something like "Script 1 | Script 2" or "Script1 -foo; Script2 -bar" must
do the job. Plus, if you are novice (and willing to learn), it may be
useful for you to rewrite the whole thing from the scratch in a single
script, it seems to be about 50 lines of code at most.
