[Serusers] Help on managing ser.cfg

[Alan Litster]

Assuming you have a file called ser.def containing something like
GW1	gateway1.mydomin.com
GW2	gateway2.mydomin.com

and your ser config file is called ser.cfg.in and has the host entries as
@GW1@,
the following will generate ser.cfg based on those two files.

awk '$1 != "" {print "-e s/@"$1"@/"$2"/g"}' ser.def | xargs sed ser.cfg.in >
ser.cfg


Regards,

Alan

Alan:

   I need this functionality too. I was looking at cobbling together
something
using exec but if you find a better way I'd like to hear about it.

Thanks,Steve
