# Example of script using this function:
# !/usr/bin/env bash
#
# source command_runner
#
# foo () {
# cat <<-EOL
# ls
# cd ~
# # You can have comments too
# ls
# # this will fail and not continue forward
# cd notafolder
# ls
# EOL
# }
#
# run_commands foo
#
# There are some limitations to the commands you can run and you might
# sometimes need to put them inside function instead.
