I didn't run this code. But according to my assumptions, exit 0 or exit 1,
will exit your bash script and anything further won't execute.
I'm unsure why you placed exit in both the if else and have code beneath.
If your previous command has failed, which won't return you an exit status
($?) Zero. Then you can exit. As you wrote in the else exit 1.
But I don't think exit 0 is really required.

Might be if you want your code to working as you wanted. You can separate
them into two scipts and have a main script which calls the script 1 and
script2.
Thank you.
