The sed command now has an "in-place" flag:
-i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]
edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
> But with bash this does not leave anything...
I think you would want to escape the periods and omit the trailing pipe:
> cat ifcfg-*4000 | sed 's/.96.70/.96.71/' | > ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.4010
becomes:
> cat ifcfg-*4000 | sed 's/\.96\.70/.96.71/' > ifcfg-qeth-bus-ccw-0.0.4010
