Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting throw a generic message upon error Post 302256413 by Gee-Money on Sunday 9th of November 2008 09:34:32 PM

Maybe something like this using brackets to group commands together...

Code:
{ command1 && dostuff; } || print "err message"

If command1 is successful, then run the 'dostuff' function, if not successful, print error message.

if you're calling a function though, you don't need the parentheses, as in "dostuff()", it would just be "dostuff". You can use the parentheses when you're defining a function though.
