I am trying to run a sequence of python scripts in linux red hat. When one script completes, the next one should begin as per this guidance, since the commands are separated with &&.

python2.6 ../convert_to_csv.py input1.json output1.csv && python2.6 ../convert_to_csv.py input2.json output2.csv

When I run the command the terminal changes to > but none of the jobs start. Is this the correct syntax?

Each command runs a python script which processes a file from json to csv. When I run a single command the script works fine.

    ``>`` you say? Then you have an unescaped quote on your command line somewhere. The shell prompts you to continue the line. – Irmen de Jong May 30 '18 at 19:24

    ^^ I agree .. The syntax you are using looks ok to me -- It *should* work given what you posted here is everything in the command you are trying to run. – Zak May 30 '18 at 19:28
  • works now.. think i had a stray && at the end of the command. knowing what the `>` means helped! – joshi123 May 30 '18 at 20:51
