Shakthi, I think this a lot. I normally use && like $ make && make test && make install Of course for make install you gotta be root if it uses the normal prefix during ./configure. I digress. Sorry. The or operator || is really cool. But I would not put it in crontab. If the machine switches off doing imp work and listening to music there is a problem. I want to run the script manually. Thanks for this tip.
