Leave a comment

HI,

I want to append some configuration statements to the existing file in unix to it’s 3 line , 7th line and 28 line.

There is a file generated by our system job, to this I need to add some lines as mentioned below.

DIR=/usr/CDR – line 3
Source=/usr/src – line 7
Target=/usr/tgt – line 28

Please suggest how can I add these about to the specific file generated by other process.

Regards,
Mora

Pulling Parms from Config File

Leave a comment

By phunk

Hello all,

I’m working on a general script for something at work. I’m an up-and-comer backup for a Shell Scripter this company has had for 35 years lol. Anyway, I have a config file I’m trying to pull Variables from as the Config File is used for multiple scripts. Does the below make sense and is there any better way to do this?

Config File:

Code:
DayOfWeek Fri

Script:

Code:
function GetConfigParms
{
DayOfWeek=`grep DayOfWeek app.main.cfg | awk '{print $2}'`
}

I appreciate it!
