Nah, you're right. I didn't even notice this was the Solaris group. Sorry for the noise! Smilie

Hi all,

That was a very relevant info which i too was searching.
However can someone explain what exactly does the "&&" deonte in "job1 && job2 && job3".
How does Solaris understand that job2 has to be done after job1?

If we were to run it in command line job1;job2;job3 would do. Will the same run in cron?

"&&" is more restrictive and a usually a better choice than ";"

In the former case, the next job is launched only if the previous one succeeded while in the second one, it is launched regardless of the previous one exit status.
