Code:
perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/(TASK sipsiproc.*?ExitAction = )NONE/$1FALSE/s' inputfile

or:

Code:
perl -i.bak -00 -pe's/ExitAction = NONE/ExitAction = FALSE/ if /^TASK sipsiproc/' inputfile


With Awk (nawk or /usr/xpg4/bin/awk on Solaris):

Code:
awk '/^TASK sipsiproc/{sub(/ExitAction = NONE/,"ExitAction = FLASE")}1' ORS="\n\n" RS= inputfile>newfile

NAME
iconv - Convert encoding of given files from one encoding to another SYNOPSIS
iconv -f encoding [-t encoding] [inputfile]... DESCRIPTION
The iconv program converts the encoding of characters in inputfile, or from the standard input if no filename is specified, from one coded character set to another. The result is written to standard output unless otherwise specified by the --output option. --from-code, -f encoding Convert characters from encoding. --to-code, -t encoding Convert characters to encoding. If not specified the encoding corresponding to the current locale is used. --list, -l List known coded character sets. -c Omit invalid characters from output. --output, -o file Specify output file (instead of stdout). --silent, -s Suppress warnings, but not errors. --verbose Print progress information. --help, -? Give help list. --usage Give a short usage message. --version, -V Print program version. ENCODINGS
The values permitted for --from-code and --to-code can be listed by the iconv --list command, and all combinations of the listed values are supported. Furthermore the following two suffixes are supported: //TRANSLIT When the string "//TRANSLIT" is appended to --to-code, transliteration is activated. This means that when a character cannot be represented in the target character set, it can be approximated through one or several similarly looking characters. //IGNORE When the string "//IGNORE" is appended to --to-code, characters that cannot be represented in the target character set will be silently discarded. AUTHOR
iconv was written by Ulrich Drepper as part of the GNU C Library. This man page was written by Joel Klecker <espy@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system. 3rd Berkeley Distribution lenny ICONV(1)
