    Also the && operator in sh. I think you can figure out what happened.

    I’m guessing something like… Copy file/dir from location A to location B and then delete from A, but the copy had failed (and the delete unfortunately worked fine)?

      I left the last sentence open ended, for comedic effect, but if you really wanna know:

      I transcoded videos with ffmpeg, and tried to exit out of the bash script with ctrl C. the script was something like:

      for
          ffmpeg file finishedFile;
          rm file;
      

      my ^C broke out only from ffmpeg and before I realized what happened the file got removed and the next ffmpeg call filled my terminal. I tought the key didn’t register, or something was stuck, so I pressed it again… and again… it cost like 45minutes of footage, wasn’t that important tho.
