Pipe Commands

[Gopal Ghosh]

Dear All,
my self gopal ghosh a  newbie in Linux world. found myself in love with
Linux as i came to know the power of Linux CLI

if two different commands are separated by || (a method by which two comands
can be executed one after another )
such as
ls || nano

the above command executes both the command with out stops after executing
the first one.

the book says that it will stop executing further after the first command
but it is not the same which i observed
