search and replace the whole line
Hi,
I have this line in a file called test.cfg
SOURCEFILE=/usr/platform/sun4v/driver/file.cfg
But i have many occurances of "SOURCEFILE" in test.cfg , i need to search only for this line and replace that line with
SOURCEFILE=/usr/platform/sun4x/driver/file.cfg
again there are many occurences of sun4v in that file but i need to replace only in this line. I tried grep for "SOURCEFILE="and using perl -pi -e but it replaces wherever it finds "sun4v" but i want only on this line.
Please help me.
Thanks.

bbcombotest
BBCOMBOTEST(1) General Commands Manual BBCOMBOTEST(1)
NAME
bbcombotest - Xymon combination test tool
SYNOPSIS
bbcombotest --help
bbcombotest --version
bbcombotest [--debug] [--quiet]
DESCRIPTION
bbcombotest is a Xymon extension script that runs on the BBDISPLAY server. It combines the results of one or more of the normal Xymon test
results into a combined test result, using standard arithmetic og logical operators.
The resulting tests are sent to the Xymon display server as any normal test - so all of the standard Xymon functions (history, statistics
etc.) are available for the combined tests.
The tool was born from the need to monitor systems with built-in redundancy and automatic failover - e.g. load-balanced web servers. But
other uses are possible.
OPTIONS
--quiet
Normally, the test status sent by bbcombotest includes information about the underlying test results used to determine the current
value of the combined test. "--quiet" eliminates this information from the test status page.
--debug
Provide debugging output for use in troubleshooting problems with bbcombotest.
--no-update
Dont send any status messages - instead, the result of the combotests is simply dumped to stdout. Useful for debugging.
FILES
$BBHOME/etc/bbcombotest.cfg
Configuration file for bbcombotest, where the combined tests are defined
$BBHOME/etc/hobbitlaunch.cfg
Configuration file controlling when bbcombotest is run.
