Unix file systems do not generally allow for insertion. You will basically have to do something like

Code:
cat new old >temp
mv temp old

The sed i and r command might be useful to look at, though.

A configuration file with the name `redshift.conf' can optionally be placed in `~/.config/'. The file has standard INI format. General pro- gram options are placed under the `redshift' header, while options for location providers and adjustment methods are placed under a header with the name of that provider or method. General options are: temp-day = integer Daytime temperature temp-night = integer Night temperature transition = 0 or 1 Disable or enable transitions brightness-day = 0.1-1.0 Screen brightness at daytime brightness-night = 0.1-1.0 Screen brightness at night gamma = R:G:B Gamma adjustment to apply adjustment-method = name Select adjustment method. Options for the adjustment method can be given under the configuration file heading of the same name. location-provider = name Select location provider. Options for the location provider can be given under the configuration file heading of the same name. Options for location providers and adjustment methods can be found in the help output of the providers and methods. EXAMPLE
Example for Copenhagen, Denmark: $ redshift -l 55.7:12.6 -t 5700:3600 -g 0.8 -m vidmode -v An example configuration file with the same effect as the above command line: [redshift] temp-day=5700 temp-night=3600 gamma=0.8 adjustment-method=vidmode location-provider=manual AUTHOR
