How to change values in xml file?

Hi Don,,

I Have a script file like abc.sh when i run this script i want to update monitor.xml file like below..

The original file

Code:

<task-arguments>
            <argument name="hostname" is-required="true" default-value="10.211.55.4"/>
            <argument name="protocol" is-required="false" default-value="ssl"/>
            <argument name="port" is-required="true" default-value="7222"/>
            <argument name="username" is-required="true" default-value="admin"/>
            <argument name="password" is-required="true" default-value=""/>
            <argument name="tier" is-required="false" default-value="TIBCO_EMS"/>
            <argument name="emsservername" is-required="false" default-value="Tibco EMS Destinations"/>
            <argument name="showTempQueues" is-required="false" default-value="false"/>
            <argument name="showSysQueues" is-required="false" default-value="false"/>
            <argument name="queuesToExclude" is-required="false" default-value="sample1 sample2"/>
            <argument name="sslIdentityFile" is-required="false" default-value="test/conf/client_identity.p12"/>
            <argument name="sslIdentityPassword" is-required="false" default-value="password"/>
            <argument name="sslTrustedCerts" is-required="false" default-value="test/conf/server_cert.pem"/>
</task-arguments>

The file should update like below.

Code:

<task-arguments>
            <argument name="hostname" is-required="true" default-value="My hostname"/>
            <argument name="protocol" is-required="true" default-value="ssl"/>
            <argument name="port" is-required="true" default-value="7233"/>
            <argument name="username" is-required="true" default-value="admin"/>
            <argument name="password" is-required="true" default-value="admin"/>
            <argument name="tier" is-required="true" default-value="TIBCO_EMS"/>
            <argument name="emsservername" is-required="true" default-value="Tibco EMS Destinations"/>
            <argument name="showTempQueues" is-required="false" default-value="false"/>
            <argument name="showSysQueues" is-required="false" default-value="false"/>
            <argument name="queuesToExclude" is-required="true" default-value="sample1 sample2"/>
            <argument name="sslIdentityFile" is-required="false" default-value="test/conf/client_identity.p12"/>
            <argument name="sslIdentityPassword" is-required="false" default-value="password"/>
            <argument name="sslTrustedCerts" is-required="false" default-value="test/conf/server_cert.pem"/>
</task-arguments>

That means need find each argument name and should update the values accordingly... all values hard coded at script level..
