Code:

perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/(TASK sipsiproc.*?ExitAction = )NONE/$1FALSE/s' inputfile

or:

Code:

perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/ExitAction = NONE/ExitAction = FALSE/ if /^TASK sipsiproc/' inputfile

With Awk (nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris):

Code:

awk '/^TASK sipsiproc/{sub(/ExitAction = NONE/,"ExitAction = FLASE")}1' ORS="\n\n" RS= inputfile>newfile
