simple question about && 3

[h3nd]

Hi guys,

I have to process that need to be run simultaneously and I wanna put that process in the script

so if I put like this :
$ process1.ksh && process2.ksh

Are they gonna run simultaneously or process2 will run after process1 finish.

If not simultaneously, what should I do to make it so ?

Thx guys,

Hi

$ process1.ksh & process2.ksh

; terminator or newline runs commands sequentially:

cmd1
cmd2

is the same as

cmd1; cmd2


& terminator instead of ; or newline runs a cmd in background:

cmd1 & cmd2

cmd1 is run in background, then concurrently cmd2 is run


&& is "if OK then run:"

cmd1 && cmd2

&& separator runs a cmd2 if cmd1 runs OK


|| is "if not OK then run:"

cmd1 || cmd2

|| separator runs a cmd2 if cmd1 fails


HTH,
