Processing different jobs as a batch process
Hi All,

I want to process consecutive jobs in a sequence but when I execute 1 job ,the control does not return to the command prompt to continue with the next job.
Can anyone help me here?
Thanks

The problem here is when one of my job finishes ,the control does not come back to the command line.
For instance the end of one job finishes with the text "Job ended successfully" and the control does not come back.
So , how can the next job be processed?
Thanks

Code:
(job_1)&&(job_2)&&(job_3).....

if you want them in sequence. the execution of next job depends on the success of the previous.
Regards
like you do for e.g.
Code:
make depend&&make mrproper&&make&&make install
