I think you should be creating yur own crontab (crontab -e) instead of messing with system crontab /etc/crontab (although thats upto you). anyway more inputs for you:
command1 ; command2 ; command3 command1 && command2 && command3 command1 || command2 || command3 the 2nd and third forms are conditional commands which you can trick the shell to execute the next command depending on sucess (or failure) of the previous command....depends which shell yur running on, of course.. jondz > > > 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. > > _ > Philippine Linux Users Group.
