Rename filename inside the crontab file
 

Hi Team,

i have below file is my crontab,

00 * * * * /home/@@@@/ulimit_nofile_status_20480.sh >> /export/####/$$$$$/ulimit_nofile_status.txt

00 * * * * /home/@@@@/ulimit_nproc_status_20480.sh >> /export/####/%%%%/ulimit_nproc_status.txt

i want to change the file name (ulimit_nofile_status_20480.sh and ulimit_nproc_status_20480.sh) to (ulimit_nofile_status_40960.sh and ulimit_nproc_status_40960.sh) these are file names.

I want to rename 20480 to 40960

Had tried below commands but did not work for me.
1) crontab -l | sed 's#/_20480\.#/40960.#' | crontab -
2) crontab -l | sed 's/\<_20480\>/40960/' | crontab -

Why can't you just edit you crontab file directly?

i have more than 50 server and i can't do it manually on all the server. so looking out for any command or script which can help me out

In sed expression you used #/ as delimiter but it has to be one char, ie with /

Thanks team,
i was able to rename the file name by the below command:

ssh $line "crontab -l | sed 's/20480/40960/' | crontab -"
