Question

Levi wants to run 5 commands sequentially, but does not want to create a shell script. He knows that each command is going to take approximately 20 minutes to run individually. However, he would like to go to lunch 15 minutes from now. He knows that he can type all of the commands on the same line and separate them with a certain character to run them sequentially. Which character can he type after each command to have them run one after the next without requiring further input from him?

Answer 1

Levi can use the bash command to type all the commands on the same line to type one after the other character without requiring input.

Explanation:

• He wants to run five commands. For one command it will take exactly 20 minutes. So it will take one hour forty minutes.
• To type all of the commands on the same line Levi should use the bash command. For inserting the bash command Levi should use backslash \ as the last character of the line.
