Good Day,
I'm looking for a command combinations (not and
editor) that would uncomment or comment a line in any
configuration file such as inetd.conf with just one
single stroke.
For example here's the line in inetd.conf that will
enable ftpd:
# ftp stream tcp nowait root
/usr/libexec/ftpd ftpd -l
sure, I can extract that particular line using cat and
grep, but I'm not quit sure how am I going to edit it.
If it is commented by default, I can just say:
cat /etc/inetd.conf |grep #ftp |grep -v 6 |sed -e
's/#//' to extract and edit that particular line and
then pipe the output to 'tee -a' to be able to append
it at the bottom of inetd.conf.
But what if it's already uncommented?
What's wrong with what you've already got?
cat /etc/inetd.conf | grep -v "#" | grep ftp | grep -v 6 | sed -e 's//#/'
