How do I go about configuring the scripts so that they continue to run after logging out the PUTTY sessions?

Thanks,

have u heard of "screen" utility???

if you don't want to use screen, which I wouldn't understand anyway, I would throw all commands you listed above into a file, give it read-exec access bits and execute with the following syntax.
nohup <fullpath_to_script>/scriptname > /tmp/output.msgs 2>&1 &

you might need to specify full path to all your scripts in order for that to work.
