Alternate work out for sed command
Iam trying to insert a line after #Cluster in the property file shown below
Code:
#Node=Nodehostname:NodeProfilename
Node=testNode:test_profile
#Cluster=Cluster_Name:nodeName@ClusterMem1,nodeName@ClusterMem2,....
#DC=DCname:DCnodegrp:DCtemp
DC=test_DC:test_NG:test_template

i was using sed command
Code:
sed -e "/^#Cluster=/ a\Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1" /tmp/test.props

to insert and it was working great in Linux and below is the o/p
Code:
#Node=Nodehostname:NodeProfilename
Node=testNode:test_profile
#Cluster=Cluster_Name:nodeName@ClusterMem1,nodeName@ClusterMem2,....
Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1
#DC=DCname:DCnodegrp:DCtemp
DC=test_DC:test_NG:test_template

but when i was trying to use the same code in solaris it fails .
I even have tried using the perl command but was unsuccessful. Below is the perl command that i have used.
Code:
perl -pi -e "/^#Cluster=/ a\Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1" /tmp/test.props

Is there any work around to insert a line using Perl in solaris?

You probably need to put the part after the \ on a new line like so:
Code:
sed "/^#Cluster=/ a\
Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1" /tmp/test.props

Alternatively you could use something like this:
Code:
sed "/^#Cluster=/{N;s/\n/&Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1&/}" /tmp/test.props

I have tried entering in a different line but i get the error below .
Code:
sed: command garbled: /^#Cluster=/a        Cluster=test_cluster:test_node@test_cluster_mem1,test_node2@test_cluster_mem

Is there any other way or command that can be used to insert a line in Solaris?

Did you try the second solution I provided?

Old 12-08-2009
Code:
nawk '/^#Cluster=/ {$0=$0"\nCluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1"}1 ' /tmp/test.props

@Scrutinizer
When i tried the second solution and the result was the same
Code:
sed: command garbled: /^#Cluster=/{N;s/\n/&Cluster=test-cluster1:test_node1@test-cluster1-mem1,test_node2@test-cluster1-mem2&/}

@rdcwayx
the nawk command didn't work too. i have got the error below:
Code:
nawk: syntax error at source line 1
 context is
        /^#Cluster=/ >>>  {. <<< /testScript.sh=./testScript.sh\nCluster=stest-cluster1:test_node1@test-cluster1-mem1,test_node2@test-cluster1-mem2}1
nawk: illegal statement at source line 1

Old 12-09-2009
Code:
nawk '1; /^#Cluster=/ { print "Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1" }' /tmp/test.props

#Node=Nodehostname:NodeProfilename
Node=testNode:test_profile
#Cluster=Cluster_Name:nodeName@ClusterMem1,nodeName@ClusterMem2,....
Cluster=test_node1@test_clus_mem1
#DC=DCname:DCnodegrp:DCtemp
DC=test_DC:test_NG:test_template
