How to run multiple Linux commands on one line
On Linux, there are 3 ways to run multiple commands on the same line:
- ; Team 1 ; Command 2 – will run command 1 first and then command 2.
- && Command 1 && Command 2 – this will be command 2 only if command 1 succeeds
- || Team 1 || Command 2 – This will be command 2 only if command 1 fails.
Below are the usage details:
- Using ;
When you use ; whether the first command (command 1) succeeds or not, always run the second command (command 2).
- Using &&
When you use &&, the second command (command 2) will only be executed after the first command (command 1) succeeds.
- Using ||
When you use || the only one when the second command (command 2) will be executed only when the first command (command 1) is not executed.
Running more than 2 commands at the same time on the same line
You can use ; to run multiple Linux commands on one line. Just use a semicolon (;) to add/combine multiple commands on the same line. You can use the following format:
command 1; command 2; command 3
NOTE. Command 1 will run first, then command 2 will run, and then command 3 will run. The commands will run regardless of whether the previous command was successful or not.
Similarly, you can use command 1 && command 2 && command 3.
