Add Line to a File ( 3rd line)
 
Hi...
going back to my earlier post "Last digit minus ONE", when i get a Ip addresse with minus 1 ($ip), i need to add the new Ip address ($ip) to resolv.conf of that system.
so from resolve.conf:
Code:
# /etc/resolv.conf .......
domain mydomain.ca
nameserver 11.21.36.98
nameserver 11.21.37.98
nameserver 11.21.38.98
I need to make it like:
Code:
# /etc/resolv.conf
domain mydomain.ca
nameserver $ip
nameserver 11.21.36.98
nameserver 11.21.37.98
nameserver 11.21.38.98
.........  ...........
.........  ...........
.........  ...........
tried with sed

Code:
sed 'nameserver $ip/domain/G' -f /etc/resolv.conf
but not able to get it.

any better way....
thanks

You could do it like so:
Code:
cat /etc/resolv.conf | sed -e '3 i $ip' > /etc/resolv.conf.new
Of course you need to modify that.....
Hope that helps!

Cheers,

Josh

I'm getting fed up with people referring to earlier posts without a link or summary.

Either summarise it or link to it. Don't assume we're following your every word !

thanks

use double quotes so that your $ip variable can be interpolated. Same to some of the answers posted.
