Re: [plug] /etc/crontab

[vince cagud]

interesting, i've always assumed by default in shell scripts that 
commands are executed sequentially and each command has to finish first 
before the next one gets run. you're saying that isn't so?

If you need the first command to finish first before executing the second

#!/bin/sh
firstcommand
wait
secondcommand
and edit or add it in your crontab

sirs:

how do i execute succeeding multiple commands in one line in
my /etc/crontab? also, every command needs to finish executing
first before executing the next.
     

im not sure if you can do this in cron, but you can do:

(command1);(command2);(command3);...;(commandN)

or you could write one script that will run the commands in succession:

command1
command2
command3
.
.
.
commandN
and execute this script via cron.
