Question Appending Text To Each Line That Matches Grep

I'm currently digging for a way to append a line to a text file where each line begins with the word "setmqaut". This is a continuation of my IBM MQSeries backup script I'm working on to make my life a little easier.

What I would like to do is have each line that looks like this:
setmqaut -m TEST -n SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS -t process -g root +inq +set +chg +dlt +dsp

Look like this:
setmqaut -m TEST -n SYSTEM.DEFAULT.PROCESS -t process -g root +inq +set +chg +dlt +dsp >> $LOGFILE

I'm still trying to figure out how to do a grep and make a for go through and add this line to each line that starts with the setmqaut command. I'm guessing sed would be the best way to do this, but unfortunately I'm not as experienced as I'd like with it. Any suggestions would rock! Smilie

In the meantime, it's back to google for me. Smilie
