how to replace a line in a file using shell script

script DB
I have one suggestion.
put the DB names in a vertical file.
#vi fileDB
snowdropDB
tulipDB
etcDB.....
Then do this in your script.
#!/bin/ksh
for name in `cat fileDB`
do
startup $name #"change the name"
some other exe
some other exe
done
This script will allow you to use the different DB names.
OR you can define the DBs in an array inside the script. I prefer to have it in another file. I like modular scripting it makes it easier to make big changes without rewriting the whole program.

XmActivateProtocol(3X) XmActivateProtocol(3X) NAME
XmActivateProtocol - A VendorShell function that activates a protocol SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> #include <Xm/Protocols.h> void XmActivateProtocol (shell, property, protocol) Widget shell; Atom property; Atom protocol; void XmActivateWMProtocol (shell, protocol) Widget shell; Atom protocol; DESCRIPTION
XmActivateProtocol activates a protocol. It updates the handlers and the property if the shell is realized. It is sometimes useful to allow a protocol's state information (callback lists, and so on) to persist, even though the client may choose to temporarily resign from the interaction. This is supported by allowing a protocol to be in one of two states: active or inactive. If the protocol is active and the shell is realized, the property contains the protocol Atom. If the protocol is inactive, the Atom is not present in the property. XmActivateWMProtocol is a convenience interface. It calls XmActivateProtocol with the property value set to the atom returned by interning WM_PROTOCOLS. Specifies the widget with which the protocol property is associated. Specifies the protocol property. Specifies the proto- col Atom (or an int type cast to Atom). For a complete definition of VendorShell and its associated resources, see VendorShell(3X). SEE ALSO
