Linux Script
I am writing a linux script to automate a few commands I wish to run on my machine. My question is this:
I have about 5 -10 commands I need to run in the script. But there are a few commands that I need it to open up a new shell and run them seperately from the others.
Example:
Commands 1-4 in one shell
5-6 in another shell
7-9 in a third shell for a total of 3 shells when the script completes.
How do I tell the script to open a new shell when running one of the specific commands? Is that possible?

simon3270's should work fine as long as there is no inter-dependence between results or actions from or between shell1 shell2 and shell3. obviously command1;command2;command3

So how do you tell the script to start one command AFTER another rather than all executing immediately...?
you could have the last line of script one call script two and the last line of script 2 call script three.
