Question: is there a way to have an alias execute multiple commands?

See original GitHub issue

Just curious if there is a way to do this. I didn’t see anything in the docs, so …

Let’s say I have a couple of commands defined: a and b. If I want to define an alias to perform both of these command with an alias, how would I do that?

alias create c a;b or something like that (this doesn’t work, btw, or didn’t for me), hence, the question. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

@tleonhardt Thanks so much. This has given me some additional thought on what to add to my app.

Currently, the run_script handles what I need. The only down side is it needs to create a file to execute from, and that’s not bad at all, just sort of inconvenient at worst.

Thanks for the thoughts on using runcmds_plus_hooks - I might give that a go as well. It all depends on how much time I have and how much I need it to work! 😃

I think this issue can be closed. Thanks again for the input and ideas.
