>>> It all works fine except for this substitution: >>> -e 's/DEVICE/DEVICE Lubuntu1:3551/' If the original line concerned starts out as just DEVICE (followed by a line feed to mark the end of line), then I'd suggest making the sed command be sed -e 's/DEVICE$/DEVICE Lubuntu1:5551/' So that, even if run twice, the second run will have no effect on this line. If there *is* "other junk" after DEVICE before the end of the line, and there is only one line containing DEVICE in the file concerned, you could consider sed -e 's/DEVICE.*$/DEVICE Lubuntu1:3551/' which would remove any trailing junk after DEVICE and replace it with the desired string.
