Execute sed altered script
Man...no one answered my last two posts...Oh well, so hey guys i have a script that i'm wanting to put a # on a certain line, and then execute the script but not write it to the script. So far I'm doing it the dirty way with:

Code:
sed -i -e "s/^rm/\#rm/" -e "s/^tar/\#tar/" /path/to/file
                    /path/to/file
                    sed -i -e "s/^\#rm/rm/" -e "s/^\#tar/tar/" /path/to/file

Just seems like there's gotta be a better way. I don't know how to get the changed file to execute. Sed just wants to list it. Help. Thanks

       The following commands are recognized:

	   list list scripts on server.

	   put <filename> upload script to server.

	   get <name> [<filename>] get script. if no filename display to stdout

	   delete <name> delete script.

	   activate <name> activate script.

	   deactivate deactivate all scripts.

OPTIONS

       -u user, --user=user
	   The authorization name to request; by default, derived from the authentication credentials.

       -a authname, --authname=authname
	   The user to use for authentication (defaults to current user).

       -r realm, --realm=realm
	   The realm to attempt authentication in.

       -e script, --exec=script
	   Instead of working interactively, run commands from script, and exit when done.
