&& And Logical Operator

Continues next operation if previous operation passes

Description

When in the normal run mode (see "schedulers" link below) this will only run the command on the right hand side if the command on the left hand side does not error. Neither STDOUT nor STDERR are piped.

This has no effect in try nor trypipe run modes because they automatically apply stricter error handling.

Examples

Second command runs because the first command doesn't error:

» out one && out two
one
two

Second command does not run because the first command produces an error:

» err one && out two
one

Detail

This is equivalent to a try block:

try {
    err one
    out two
}
