  • Thank you for the link!

    I do understand the logic and the difference between ;, &&, and `||. What was confusing me was the command grouping and my misunderstanding of the curly brace grouping rule that the command list has to END with a semicolon. @SheeEttin@lemmy.zip pointed out to me with the link in the comment they left.

    I had read that same link and misunderstood it. On second read I got it, and see now why my script is working, as the newlines serve the same purpose as the semicolon, so the curly braced groups are terminated correctly.
