        So, can I make a shell script background itself after
starting?

You could run all your code in a sub-shell:
#!/bin/sh
(
        #your script here
) &

or in a shell function:
old_script()
{
        #your script here
}

old_script $* &

Perhaps the second way requires less code
re-factoring...
