Hi Monks!
I am removing the line with bgs in it. If it exists. Then,I am trying to add this line after the 'cron':

watch process procAlive 'bgs' 18 0x2 60 'Production Critical: bgs fail
+ure. Restarting bgs' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'

Here is part of the file I'm trying to modify:

watch process procAlive 'cron'      1 0x2 60 'Production Critical: cro
+n failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'inetd'      2 0x2 60 'Production Critical: in
+etd failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'sendmail'  3 0x2 60 'Production Critical: sen
+dmail failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'syslogd'    4 0x2 60 'Production Critical: sy
+slogd failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'automountd' 5 0x2 60 'Production Critical: au
+tomountd failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'xntpd'      6 0x2 60 'Production Critical: xn
+tpd failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'
watch process procAlive 'itaagtd'    7 0x2 60 'Production Critical: it
+aagtd failure. Call USA POC' '/opt/EMPsysedge/bin/sysedge.sh'

here are my errors: They have to do with my regex.

Here is my script.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
