Does this means I am not innovative or dumb...I know how to script...why this stuff did not come to my mind?
There is a one way to know, can you tell me how did you first come to know about this? I've read unix books, but none talk like this at command level.
Some of these kinds of things come with time, and experience and through asking questions as you did. Hard to say when I first learned something like this. The one thing that I do know is that I tend to learn something new with nearly every question that I answer. This turns out to be no exception when looking at jlliagre's post -- I tend to think in traditional if-then-else constructs when I depend on successful command execution and thus don't think about the
command && command style one liners which as pointed out is better than simply banging two commands onto one line.
