Question run command Unix on a single line

Hi everybody..
I need to enter in bash mode and then run a command and this just in a single command line.

I tried : "bash ^M| somecommand" but nothing..
How do I do to simulate the return button just right after the bash command ?

Thanks..

ok..

you type bash.. then return.. and I am in bash mode.
So , now I type a command like iostat or other.. and then I get the output to console.
Well, I would like these 2 steps on a single command line since I have to run this 2 input from .NET code.

Hope I make myself clear.. .. thank you..

You can use something like...

bash << END
command
<<END

Wouldn't a semicolon work?

I.E. Usually you can put multiple commands on a single line by seperating them with a semicolon:

command [argument] ; command [argument] ; command [argument] ... etc.
is the same as:
command [argument] <NL>
command [argument] <NL>
command [argument] <NL>
...
etc.

NOTE:

The vertical bar you used, usually called 'Pipe', does NOT seperate commands the same way. It is used to direct the output of one command to be used as the input of the next command. I'm fairly certain that using it as you indicated would not work at all, unless the first command had output that the second command could use.
