For newbies, the semicolon separates two shell commands,
(its the shell separator character)
and runs them one after the other.
Why would you want to do that you ask?
Well, one common example is if you are confident enough to
change networking parameters on a remote machine (say) and want
to bring the network down then back up (restart firewall etc.)
ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
 
Can anyone see the flaw in
ifdown eth0  <ENTER>
ifup eth0 <ENTER>
