Can be used semicolon to separate commands on the same line: PATH=$PATH:newPath1:newPAth2; export PATH

On Solaris (I know the question is about Linux) one of the shells (can't remember which one off the top of my head) requires that you do the export separately from setting the value in a script. So I've just gotten into the habit of doing it on 2 lines. | |
