Is script1 executed by Asterisk or Apache? If it is Apache, it is not an 
Asterisk Gateway Interface (AGI) executable.

The 2 scripts execute as 2 separate processes. They cannot share 
connections to either MySQL or AMI. You can pass the parameters through 
the database or are you contemplating setting a bunch of channel variables 
in script1 and reading them in script2?

The connection to the Asterisk Manager Interface (AMI) is closed when you 
explicitly close it or when the script exits.
