One extra of using &&, if the first command fails it stops, if you need to run all commands even when any of them returns an error you can use ;

As && you also can use ||, to execute something if the previous command returns an error, very handy on scripts, something like:

command > /dev/null 2>&1 || exit 1

To suppress stdou and stderr of command but stop the script if returns an error
