G'day Owain,
I'm slightly surprised that works at all without a semicolon :-)
Don't forget that an ampersand IS a semi-colon, with the added feature
that the command that it terminates gets run in the background.
Which is very useful when running several commands in parallel:
for x in 1 2 3; do echo $x & done
Cheers,
Chris
