First of all two things.

In your both sed commands you have given the letter itself..where i can simple use tr cmmand for that.

echo united|tr u U

but my requirement is different. I am going to echo the hostname here and do the change. I will be implementing in multiple hosts where i cant go ahead change the scripts in all the hosts. I want to do this without specifying any letters. The command should convert what ever is first letter.

echo `hostname`|??

Thanks.
