The metacharacter for command termination in Linux is semicolon ; .
Only one of the redirection operators will do this - the vertical bar or "pipe" symbol (|). It takes the standard output of one command and uses it as input to the next command in sequence.
The ampersand (&) puts any command in the background to start execution.
Shell metacharacters are special characters that have meaning in a Unix shell. For example, the '$' character followed by letters indicates that the shell variable with that name should have its value substituted. str=hello echo $str will echo out 'hello'. Other metacharacters include the semi-colon (for multiple commands on the same line), the backslash character for escaping special meanings, the single and double quote for combining fields, these are all metacharacters. A metacharacter changes the interpretation of things in various ways.
MS-DOS ended with Windows NT. It used file command.com to interpret all DOS commands. Win 2000, XP, Vista use a DOS Shell which emulates DOS but is not really DOS.
The shell interpreter must substitute or convert all metacharacters in the command line before the command parameters are given to a program. Once all metacharacters have been removed and replaced by their equivalents the program is then executed.
