rescue from command Exception about runbook HOT 2 OPEN

It seems like the goto solution has been to append || true to commands so that it always returns an exit code of 0.
#36

Personally I agree though -- this solution isn't good enough if you need to fork your runbook behaviour depending on certain steps.

Check if file is present -->
exit 1 --> create the file
exit 0 --> use said file

This is the code I use for that:

capture "file detect #{filename} && echo 'SUCCESS' || echo 'FAILURE'", into: :existing_file
      ruby_command do
        next if @existing_file == 'SUCCESS'

        command 'create file'
      end

I don't think we can do better than a true or false. If you want to get fancier you might need to do more bash which undermines the point of having a ruby runbook handler.

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll leave this open to see if there is other feedback but the workaround makes sense.
