I have a file contains

TASK gsnmpproxy {
CommandLine = $SMCHOME/bin/gsnmpProxy.exe
}

TASK gsnmpdbgui {
CommandLine = $SMCHOME/bin/gsnmpdbgui.exe


I would like to comment and than uncomment specific task eg TASK gsnmpproxy

Pls suggest how to do in shell script

Use a # at starting of line which is to commented with in the script.

e.g.

#!/bin/bash
# mycommand
command1

in this script the command line mycommand will not get executed...

and to uncommant remove # from there.

My intention is that what is the command if I run it will comment and uncomment the line

or Please suggest if the file contains a line snmpd so how to comment and uncomment the snmpd in the file by running the in the command prompt in shell.

If you want to comment the "TASK gsnmpproxy" you can something like:

Regards

you can use....

suppose test is the file name and you want to comment line having gsnmpproxy

grep gsnmpproxy test| sed -ie 's/ ^/#/g'
