[mrtg] Re: --no-down

[Perry, Duane]

This is similar to a one line perl command I use a great deal in
manipulating my MRTG config files.  This command will find and replace
strings in as many files as you want.  Of course this power can do
horribly destructive things as well as good things, be careful.  The
-i.bak creates a backup of the original file in case you mess up.

Perl -e 's/string to match/replacement or blank/gi' -p -i.bak
filename.ext

You can also do a simple command to remove the #'s from the files.

e.g. EXAMPLE ONLY DONT USE WITH OUT TESTING FIRST NOT SURE IF EVEN
LOGICALLY
CORRECT
perl -pi -e 's/^#([A-Z].+\[.+\]:.+)/$1/' `ls -1 *.config`

I dont know if this darned thing works but it is just an example.... of
living with what you get and making the best of the circumstances.

or better known as when life gives you lemons make lemonade.
