What is your script?

Remember, the script must start your program in the background, ideally as
a daemon. Alternatively try launching your program like this in your
script...

    nohup /pathto/myscript &

The '&' launches the program in the background so the script can continue,
and the 'nohup' prevents the script from trying to terminate your program
when it exits.

Ideally your program should use the daemon function to background itself
and put itself in its own group etc. See man 3 daemon, or google.
