Thanks for helping!!
@shamrock,
Yes I just want to remove the line that contains "@sysmon".

I am sorry for wasting every ones time. After thinking about "More Criteria" that @Corona688 suggested. I think I can get away just fine with the following code below, since the row containing @sysmon is always the same. It may be at a different line number in the file, but the same. Also I am sure much more elegant solutions exist.

Code:
[root@server ~]# sed 's/local1.*                                                @sysmon//' /etc/syslog.conf

The command above does remove the line that I wanted removed.
Thanks for helping me think on my own. Smilie
