Re: How to run bconsole commands in a bash for loop?

Also, please note the following gotchas:

My runbook is not a script. Read and paste commands in once you've
customized them, or just use them to inform your commands.

Any commands that delete something on disk are commented out, for safety in
case someone blindly pastes the thing into terminal.

In my experience, the postgres commands need to be pasted in one at a time,
with a little delay between commands. Pasting them together as a block for
sequential execution hasn't worked well for me in the past.
