title: Multiple commands on a single line in Linux
body: <p>I'd like to run several commands on the command line.</p>
  
  <p>In a normal case this is simple:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#cd /home &amp;&amp; ls &amp;&amp; echo "OK"
  root   web   support
  OK
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>However when one of the commands ends itself on a <code>&amp;</code> this doesn't seem to work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>#killall vsftpd &amp;&amp; /usr/sbin/vsftpd &amp; &amp;&amp; echo "OK"
  -sh: syntax error: unexpected "&amp;&amp;"
  OK
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've tried without the single trailing <code>&amp;</code> but this obviously halts the processing of the latter <code>echo</code>.  Just for fun tried a triple <code>&amp;</code> but this also returns an error.</p>
  
  <p>So my question; how can I get </p>
  
  <pre><code>killall vsftpd
  /usr/sbin/vsftpd &amp;
  echo "OK"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>executed on one single line?</p>
