Question

I am using curl from a BASH shell. I would like to create a text file of commands to send via curl and then somehow have all of them run at once. It’s been a long time since I dealt with UNIX commands, but can someone show me how to accomplish this please (assuming I have a file created called commands.txt)?

Editing this post to include an example of the file of commands I would like to execute in batch…

curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/foo/property/1' -d '{"firstName":"Domino","lastName":"Derval"}'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/foo/property/2' -d '{"firstName":"Elektra","lastName":"King"}'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/foo/property/3' -d '{"firstName":"Fiona","lastName":"Volpe"}'
curl -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/foo/property/4' -d '{"firstName":"Holly","lastName":"Goodhead"}'
