I'm writing a script that does some utilities on our solaris 8 box. I have the three different utilities stacked one right after another. Question is will they all be executed at once or do I have to set some sleep time for one utility to finish before the other starts. These utilities are not for Solaris but for a specific software that we use.I want to run this script in a cron.

Provided each utility is called in separate lines in the script and that no line ends with an ampersand (&) and that no utility detach itself from the group process, then the execution will be synchronously sequential, i.e. the second utility will be launched after the completion of the first and so on.
