Running multiple cron jobs from single script

Question

I have three different jobs that I want to run from the FreeBSD shell. I would like to consolidate them into a single script, if possible, but I can not find any syntax to do that. Is there someway I can accomplish this?

Solution

you can use article "&" for parallel work and "&&" step-by-step launch script

#script.sh & script2.sh & script.sh

Why not create a shell script which just calls them all?

This question needs a lot more information for anybody to be able to help you. What do you mean by "different jobs"? What have you tried? What has failed, and how?

There are a myriad of was to run multiple "jobs", simplest of all is end the command with a ; then type the next one, etc.

I apologize for not being descript. I have 3 different commands I want to run at different times. I want to have all three commands be in a single script, but still have cron run them at different times.

You can also run multiple commands by separating them with ; which will rul all the commands regardless of their return value. && will only continue to run if the previous command was successful.
