Not precisely. According to "man bash" a sequence of command1 || command2 means only execute the second command if the first command returns a non-zero exit status. Conversely, commaand1 && command2 means only execute command2 if command1 returns an exit status of zero. The command on the left hand side always gets executed first. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
