sed Unexpected results, missing first search item
I created 3 files with the identical data as follows

Code:
dial-peer voice 9999 pots
 trunkgroup CO
 list outgoing Local
 translation-profile outgoing LOCAL-7-DIGITS-NO-PREPEND-97
 preference 2
 shutdown
 destination-pattern 9[2-9]......$
 forward-digits 7


dial-peer voice 10000 pots
 trunkgroup CO
 list outgoing Local
 translation-profile outgoing LOCAL-7-DIGITS-NO-PREPEND-97
 preference 2
 shutdown
 destination-pattern 9[2-9]......$
 forward-digits 7


dial-peer voice 11111 pots
 trunkgroup CO
 list outgoing Local
 translation-profile outgoing LOCAL-7-DIGITS-NO-PREPEND-97
 preference 2
 shutdown
 destination-pattern 9[2-9]......$
 forward-digits 7


I named them rx, rx1, rx2
I used vi set list to ensure the files were in nix format.

I ran the following script(s)

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for x in `ls rx*`
#ls -l rx* | awk '{print $9} | while read x
do
sed -n -e '/^dial.*10000/p' -e '/ shutdown/{p;q}' $x
done


the exact output

Code:
backupdir> xx
 shutdown
 shutdown
 shutdown
backupdir>

I ran dos2unix on all three files just to be sure they are in nix format.

You will need a semi-colon after the q

Code:
... {p;q;} ...

Code:
#!/bin/ksh
for x in rx*
do
  sed -n -e '/^dial.*10000/p' -e '/ shutdown/{p;q}' $x
done

 shutdown
dial-peer voice 10000 pots
 shutdown
 shutdown

if you just wanted the line that has 10000 on them, sed works well ...
Code:
[root@centosgeek ~]# sed -n "/10000/p" testfile3 | sed -e "s/$/\n shutdown/"
dial-peer voice 10000 pots
 shutdown
[root@centosgeek ~]#

if you wanted to grab all the dial-peer lines at once, use awk instead ...
Code:
[root@centosgeek ~]# awk '/dial-peer/ || /shutdown/ {print}' testfile3
dial-peer voice 9999 pots
 shutdown
dial-peer voice 10000 pots
 shutdown
dial-peer voice 11111 pots
 shutdown
[root@centosgeek ~]#

Code:
[root@centosgeek ~]# sed -n "/10000/p" testfile3 | sed -e "s/$/\n shutdown/"


Doesn this say replace then end of line with "\n shutdown" ??

Try this
Code:
sed -n  '/^dial.*10000/,$ {/^dial/p; / shutdown/ {p;q}}' file
dial-peer voice 10000 pots
 shutdown
