Do Two or More Things
There are a few ways you can do this.
Separating commands with a ; (semicolon) will execute the second command after the first command is complete, regardless of the result of the first command:
matthew@seymour:~$ command1 ; command2
If you want the second command to be run only if the first command exited with no errors, use && (two ampersands):
matthew@seymour:~$ command1 && command2
If you want the second command to be run only if the first command fails, use || (two pipes):
matthew@seymour:~$ command1 || command2
