Answer Posted / ajit mohan b
Suppose you are trying to cat a non existing file:
cat /etc/shado 2>/dev/null || echo “Failed to open file”
command 2 "echo" is executed only if command 1 "cat" returns
a non-zero exit status
# cat /etc/shado 2>/dev/null || echo "Failed to open file"
Failed to open file
