A method that's both concise and readable is:

Just FYI, a usual idiom for doing thing like this is simply:
grep -q "something" /some/where && \
grep -q "something else" /some/place/else && \
do_your_thing
with this you can chain as many pre-conditions as you want, and the benefit is,
if any one of the commands before the final one fails, the rest of the commands
are not executed. This isn't a huge win in the specific scenario being
discussed, but can significantly impact some scripts.
