As far as I can tell, there is nothing specific to bash about this. Compare sections 2.9.3 and 2.9.4 of the "Shell and Utilities" part of the POSIX.1-2008 standard. http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/V3_chap02.html Both || and { …; } are defined there, so any POSIX shell should work. But that doesn't change the fact that the syntax you propose would be easier to read and maintain. Greetings, Martin
