This resulted in the command being echo'd back. I believe what you meant was
cmd1=`This is command 1`
cmd2=`This is command 2`
time{ echo $cmd1 && echo $cmd2; }
That is what I was looking for. Thanks.

Absolutely. Really, the reason why I want to store the command is
because I want to echo the command and then run it, so when I look at
the log I'll know the arguments that were actually run. So what I
want is something like this
{ time { \
echo Configuring $PROGRAM &&
echo $cmd1 &&
$cmd1 &&
...
}
} 2>&1 | tee $LOG
It just seemed convenient to store the parameters in a variable, but I
decided to just hardcode everything to be safe. Maybe what I really
want is a Makefile. Thanks anyway.
