In Bash, 

command1.sh || recover.sh
command2.sh && command3.sh

Does powershell offer a similar, tight, construct?

The closest I have come up with:

command1.ps1; if ($? -ne 0) { recover.ps1 }
command2.ps1; if ($? -eq 0) { command3.ps1 }

  • It is indeed a duplicate (my search skills failed me), and the solution is the exact one proposed by the PowerShell team for when they do implement the feature https://github.com/PowerShell/PowerShell/pull/9849 – Jefferey Cave Jun 10 '20 at 16:33

    You could also try `try` and `catch` to replicate `||` – Nico Nekoru Jun 10 '20 at 18:16
