To change Specific Lines in An XML file

hi Guys,

this is my requirement, there is a huge xml file of this i have to change 3 lines with out opening the file

Code:

 /users/oracle > cat lnxdb-pts-454.xml|egrep "s_virtual|s_cluster|s_dlsnstatus"
      <cluster_port oa_var="s_clusterServicePort">9998</cluster_port>
      <host oa_var="s_virtual_hostname">lnxdb-pts-454</host>
      <private_address oa_var="s_clusterInterConnects">lnxdb-pts-454-rac</private_address>
         <oa_process_status oa_var="s_dlsnstatus">enabled</oa_process_status>
/users/oracle >

#### Required Output

Code:

 /users/oracle > cat lnxdb-pts-454.xml|egrep "s_virtual|s_cluster|s_dlsnstatus"
      <cluster_port oa_var="s_clusterServicePort">9999</cluster_port>
      <host oa_var="s_virtual_hostname">lnxdb-pts-454-vip</host>
      <private_address oa_var="s_clusterInterConnects">lnxdb-pts-454</private_address>
         <oa_process_status oa_var="s_dlsnstatus">disabled</oa_process_status>
/users/oracle >

I tried with using Sed, started with one parameter "s_vitrual_hostname" ...but iam not able to make the changes without opening the file..

I just have to run one shell script & it should take care of the file, ofcourse the script would include the above parameters Smilie

can anyone help me with this..i have to do similar modifications on 20 hosts like this, thought a small shell script would fix it

thanks in Advance

pts_quit

PTS_QUIT(1)						       AFS Command Reference						       PTS_QUIT(1)

NAME

       pts_quit - Exit from pts interactive mode

SYNOPSIS

       pts quit [-cell] <cell name> [-noauth] [-localauth]
	   [-force]

       pts q [-c] <cell name> [-n] [-l] [-f]

DESCRIPTION

       The pts quit command exits from pts interactive mode.  The command can be run from the command line or interactively, but on the command
       line it does nothing and is therefore of questionable utility.

CAUTIONS

       Prior to OpenAFS 1.4.5 and OpenAFS 1.5.23, the pts quit command was only available on Unix or Linux and when OpenAFS was compiled with the
       supergroups option (disabled by default).  As of OpenAFS 1.4.5 and 1.5.23, it is always available.

OPTIONS

       Although they have no effect, pts quit takes the following standard pts options:

       -cell <cell name>
	   Names the cell in which to run the command. For more details, see pts(1).

       -force
	   Enables the command to continue executing as far as possible when errors or other problems occur, rather than halting execution at the
	   first error.

       -help
	   Prints the online help for this command. All other valid options are ignored.

       -localauth
	   Constructs a server ticket using a key from the local /etc/openafs/server/KeyFile file. Do not combine this flag with the -cell or
	   -noauth options. For more details, see pts(1).

       -noauth
	   Assigns the unprivileged identity anonymous to the issuer. For more details, see pts(1).

OUTPUT

       This command produces no output.

EXAMPLES

       Here is an example of a pts interactive session:

	  % pts interactive
	  pts> quit
	  %
