how to replace a line in a file using shell script
cs_sakthi,
Let prop_file is name of your property file.
File prop_file contains the following line with other contents.
Application.Database=snowdropDB
Make shell sript file startup.sh
Shell script startup.sh contains
sed "s/Application.Database=.*/Application.Database=$1/g" prop_file > tmp
mv tmp prop_file
Execute
sh startup.sh tulipDB
All occurences of snowdropDB will get replaced by tulipDB.
This I tested and it worked.
