I kinda think that a 'find' with an -exec of 'sed' would do
it but I'm not sure, and even if it were, I'm not sure of
the syntax.
Could someone help me please?
Thanks!

for i in `find /users/home -type f`; do
sed -i ''
"s|/cgi-bin/Count.cgi|http://counter.qcislands.net/cgi-bin/Count.cgi|g" $i
done
The only thing I would recommend different is to provide a backup file
extension to the -i option of sed. That way it keeps a copy of the file
as it was before sed touches it. This will save you a lot of headaches,
if sed does something you don't expect.
Yes, very good call.
