scripts line by line

[Chrissirhc]

Hi,

When I run a script my understanding is that each line in it will not run until the previous line has an exit code. Is that correct?

Hi,
the next line of a script will be executed indepentently of previous exit codes. Provided of course these lines terminate. Those kind of dependencies are programmed by yourself through boolean expressions ("while", "if-then-else-fi" etc.) and "set" options.

If you want to execute an asynchrone script line, put a & at the end of them.
Anyway: man YourShell (ie sh,ksh,csh,bash, ...)
