Writing Deskshell commands

Command terminators

Each command in a script is terminated by ``;'' or ``&''. If the command is terminated with ``&'', it is run in a separate thread in the background. Otherwise it is run in the current thread.

The ``;'' can be omitted after the last command on a line.
