Because of the &, you may need to wait a couple of seconds
before letting the script exit, otherwise the parent process
may signal the child process to exit as well.

But even better might be to not use an & at all, and simply do

    exec ./FactoryRestore.sh

This replaces the current shell with ./FactoryRestore.sh
without creating a new process.
