Need sed command with an exception

All,

I am currently using the below code to add a line /var/temp/'$input1'/permissions

Below is the shell ::

sed '
/Unix_command/ a\
unix: /var/temp/'$input1'/permissions' temp1.txt> temp2.txt


above will add the line below Unix_command word

unix: /var/temp/'$input1'/permissions where as input 1 == unixid to all in the output file (temp2.txt) .



But i dont need to add the lines to certain lines in that file .. can you provide me the shell which can exclude the above line when i am passing it using a Parameter file .

Basically it should read from the parameter file and it should not add the line to the output file (temp2.txt)

Example :: if the parameter file has a word unix_dump

then it should not add the line to the output file . Below is the example ::

unix_dump=a
Unix_command=s

Please Note :: Unix_command is a command word and it will be there in the input file (temp1.txt) .


Thanks for your Help ..

Raghav
