First thing to do is: get rid of syntax errors in your code.


For your problem, try
Code:
tac file | awk '/<type>5/ {T5 = 1} /<alarmsend/ && T5 {sub (/yes/, "no"); T5 = 0} 1' | tac
<alarmsend>no</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>1</type>
<alarmsend>yes</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>3</type>
<alarmsend>no</alarmsend>
<server>Hajk</server>
<type>5</type>
