# serdo(1)

run commands serially

## NAME

serdo - run commands serially

## SYNOPSIS

**serdo** *\[-c\]* *filename*

## DESCRIPTION

**serdo** will open the file given by the command line argument and serially execute all the commands in it.  If a command fails, the whole batch job is aborted (unless -c is given as first paramter on the serdo command line).

serdo understands the **cd** and **export** [sh(1)](/sh/1.md) built-ins (no loops, no ~user expansion, no $FOO expansion, no backticks).

serdo is very limited by design, but it is nice to have if you just want to run a few ifconfig, ip, route commands in sequence.  serdo will return the exit code of the last command it ran, 0 if none were given.
