Too complex! This will do what you want: perl -pi -e 's!^audiodir: .*$!audiodir: /path/to/new/audio/dir!' server.prefs perl -pi -e 's!^playlistdir: .*$!playlist: /path/to/new/playlist/dir!' server.prefs perl -pi -e 's!database=.*$!database=newdbname!' server.prefs (There are three commands listed above, each on a separate line) Remember to stop slimserver first.
