title: How do I run multiple background commands in bash in a single line?
body: <p>I normally run multiple commands with something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>sleep 2 &amp;&amp; sleep 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>or</p>
  
  <pre><code>sleep 2 ; sleep 3
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>but what if I want to run them both in the background from one command line command?</p>
  
  <pre><code>sleep 2 &amp; &amp;&amp; sleep 3 &amp;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>doesn't work. And neither does replacing <code>&amp;&amp;</code> with <code>;</code></p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to do it?</p>
