For any one reading, '&& echo done' means that the command was successfull.
So the below command will display 'success' if the command exited with
exit status '0' and the 'failed' message will be displayed on non-zero
exit status ('1' and above).:
$ cp src dest && echo success || echo failed
If you only want the return code of the command:
$ cp src dest; echo $?
