Using Multiple Commands
Linux allows you to enter multiple commands at one time. The only
requirement is that you separate the commands with a semicolon (you can
see an example in Figure 11-7).
Want to see how long you have been online? Just combine the
date command with Mozilla's command.
Remember that commands are case sensitive, so the command to start
Mozilla must be in lowercase to start the
browser.
date; mozilla; date
Mon Feb 7 13:26:27 EST 2000
Mon Feb 7 14:28:32 EST 2000 |
Running the combination of commands prints out the time and date,
starts Mozilla, and then prints the time and
date again after you close Mozilla. The
discrepancy between the two results from the date
command shows that you were using Mozilla for
just over an hour.
