Is there a way to add text to an arbitrary place in a text file? <pseudocode> NewAddition="this important directive. "
Open config.config Add new line above "# this marker text in config.config" Insert $NewAddition in blank line created above. Save config.config Close config.config <\pseudocode> I am automating adding servers to nagios monitoring. I already have the part that creates the new server.cfg file. This was a fairly simple bash script. I am planning to write it in python instead, so i can let the administrator choose the services to enable in a series of if statements, rather than having to hand-edit the resultant file. I need my script to add this filename to the main nagios.cfg list of read files, but it isn't going to work to do it as a straightforward append... Unless I can append it to a serverlist file and insert that file into nagios.cfg at the proper position...
