Shell Script Assistance
I am looking for a shell script or command to automate a process of opening many files in a directory and changing a string of text. Example:

I have a apache web server that uses virtual hosting. There are approximately 2300 vhost entries or files. So in the directory /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/ there are 2300 files like this:

Code:
<virtualhost *>
ServerName	xxx
ServerAlias	xxx
DocumentRoot	/export/home/phpuser/docrootx/kuph
DirectoryIndex	index.php 
ServerAdmin xxx@xxx.com 
<Directory 	/export/home/phpuser/docrootx/kuph>  
RewriteEngine On  
RewriteBase /  
RewriteRule ^(.*)/([0-9]+)$ /pages/$2\.php  
Options +FollowSymLinks -Indexes  
</Directory>  
ErrorDocument 404 /stn_page_server.php  
ErrorDocument 403 /stn_page_server.php  
CustomLog logs/thefox969/access_log combined 
ErrorLog  logs/thefox969/error_log 
</virtualhost>


The goal that I have is I want to place a # in front of ErrorLog to disable logging on all 2300 vhosts. I am sure this can be done with SED or PERL. Either way would be fine. Also I have to do bulk edits on these vhosts alot. I would like to be able to modify this script as needed. For redirects and aliases etc...

Thanks for your help

Jaysunn

A guess (- unverified):

Code:
#! /bin/bash

FOLDER=$( ls -1 /usr/local/apache/conf/vhosts/ )
for FILE in $FOLDER
do
  if [ -f "$FILE" ] # FILE is file (not folder)
  then
    sed -i 's/^ErrorLog/\# ErrorLog/g' $FILE
  fi
done
