I know this is a meme and not GitHub, but I thought some people might like to learn that if you do please shutdown && thanks it won’t say you’re welcome if the shutdown failed
Wait, isn’t it the other way around? I thought ; only executed the next command if the previous one succeeded, and && executed the next command regardless of exit status.
Ah yes you’re right, had to look it up to see for myself. It’s weird because i remember specifically changing some of my &&s for ; instead because i wanted it to not continue if exit wasn’t zero, but i must’ve misread it at the time. Time to change it back i guess lol.
alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"please shutdown; thanksalias sudo fucking
fucking systemctl restart firewalld.service
fucking shutdown
Reminds me of my favorite command line utility.
Is their a still maintained fork?

No, OP is correct, && only continues on exit 0. || For anything but zero, ; just chains another command.

It makes more sense if you think of semicolons like other programming languages like Java and C use it.
foo(); bar();But those languages allow
foo(); bar();as well. Then&&works like a normal short circuited expression (with side effects).you need to use the
echocommand if you want to echo something:alias thanks="echo 'You are most welcomed'"(the inner single-quotes are not strictly required in this case, but recommended nonetheless)
Huh yeah my bad, wrote this too fast in-between two messages at work
