several command in background
hi everyone!

I would like to know if someone can tell me how to run several command in background on one line.
I already tried thisi:
cmd1 &; cmd2 &; cmd3 &
--->produce an error syntax
cmd1 ; cmd2 ; cmd3 &
--->don't execute in bg
cmd1 & cmd2 & cmd3 &
--->execute asynchronously (cmd3 finish before cmd2)


THANKS IN ADVANCE!!!

Je vais peut-être me rabatre sur la création d'un script qui contiendra mas commandes, et j'executerais ce script en bg..

C'est chiant mais si il n'existe pas d'autres soluces
