Introduction

simple bash script to modify/update configuration files

See Usage and Examples for more details.

Installing

curl -k https://raw.githubusercontent.com/budhash/confix/master/confix > confix; chmod +x confix

Examples

• remove (comment out) an existing config element

  ./confix -c '#' -s':' -f cassandra.yaml "<gc_warn_threshold_in_ms"
  

• uncomment an existing config element (no action if the config key does not exist)

  ./confix -s':' -f cassandra.yaml ">concurrent_compactors"
  

• add a new config to the end of the file (or update existing config)

  ./confix -s':' -f cassandra.yaml ">new_param=/some/val"
  

• update the value of an existing config element

  ./confix -s':' -f cassandra.yaml "gc_warn_threshold_in_ms=2001"
  

• multiple commands

  ./confix -s':' -f cassandra.yaml "gc_warn_threshold_in_ms=2001" ">concurrent_compactors" "commitlog_directory=/change/commitlog"
  

• prints the modifications to console without updating the original file

  ./confix -o- -f log4j.properties "log4j.logger.com.endeca.itl.web.metrics=DEBUG" 
  

• save the modifications to a different file

  ./confix -olog4j-dev.properties -f log4j.properties "log4j.logger.com.endeca.itl.web.metrics=DEBUG"
  

• specify the edit/update commands via external file (log4j.cf) instead of commandline

  ./confix -o- -e log4j.cf -f log4j.properties
  

• execute directly via curl + bash

  curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/budhash/confix/master/confix | bash /dev/stdin -o- -f test/data/log4j.properties "log4j.rootLogger=DEBUG,stdout"
  curl -sk https://raw.githubusercontent.com/budhash/confix/master/confix | bash /dev/stdin -o- -e test/data/log4j.cf -f test/data/log4j.properties
