Hi - Your script is going to be something like this: cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.orig sed 's/^hostA/hostB/' /etc/fstab.orig > /etc/fstab.new -----Original Message----- From: redhat-list-bounces@xxxxxxxxxx on behalf of Danda, Richard SFC Sent: Tue 12/05/2006 04:42 PM To: 'redhat-list@xxxxxxxxxx' Cc: Subject: Scripting /etc/fstab changes Greetings all, I have a NetApp FAS270 filer that I have migrated NFS data directories too. I need to make changes to all my RHEL machines to point to the new device for mounts. Is there an easy way to script the change? Example: Current /etc/fstab hostA:/user/bin /user/bin nfs defaults 0 0 hostA:/user/lib /user/lib nfs defaults 0 0 hostA:/home/common/storage /home/common/storage nfs defaults 0 0 Need to change it to this: hostB:/user/bin /user/bin nfs defaults 0 0 hostB:/user/lib /user/lib nfs defaults 0 0 hostB:/home/common/storage /home/common/storage nfs defaults 0 0 I believe you can use sed or awk, to do that???? Thanks for any assistance. V/R Richard J.

I was to learn later in life we tend to meet new situations by reorganizing, and a wonderful method it can be for creating the illusion of progress while producing confusion, inefficiency, and demoralization.
