chain commands

[Roee Ninyo]

how do i chain two commands? like: 

gam update user and gam update group beatles add manager user rst...@beatles.com

What do you mean by chain? You can do batch commands where you put everything together and have them run in a specific order. i.e.

Text file commands.txt contains:

gam create user ....

gam create user ....

commit-batch

gam update user ...

gam update group <> add manager user <>


Then the command:
gam batch .\commands.txt

This will use multiple processes/threads to create the users simultaneously, but it won't run the next set of commands until everything above commit-batch has been completed.

Note that I use gamadv-xtd3 for everything. I don't recall if it's available in Jay's GAM.

If you have an example of what you're trying to accomplish, I can try to be more help.

In Linux you just put && between the commands.

gam update user && gam update group beatles add manager user user@email

That means run the first command till it's done, then run the second.

Here are a bunch of alternatives for Linux.

And a few for Powershell.
