Assume I want to execute 2 commands. The second command should only

Furthermore the concatenation should take place on one line WITHOUT an
"If" condition.

I though something like the following should match the conditions

"command 1" && "command 2"

But this doesn't work. E.g. if commands contains some parameter which in
turn wrapped in double quotes e.g.

OK, no problem, you can use round parenthesis to do
that task.


"ls -l "/user/home/user/sub dir name" " && "....

Surely it does... try:

( ls -l "/user/home/user/sub dir name" ) \
&& ( ls -l "/user/home/user/another sub dir name" )


Also, you can do:

( ( ls -l "/user/home/user/sub dir name" ) \
&& ( ls -l "/user/home/user/another sub dir name" ) )


Just play a bit with those parenthesis... ;)


gives an error

How else can I achieve command concatenation?
