Thanks to John Heiden for giving me the answer. My original question is
below.

Well, you could use SED to do this. You could do something like:

cp /etc/vfstab /etc/vfstab.old
cat /etc/vfstab | sed "s/oldstring/#oldstring/" > /etc/vfstab.new
cp /etc/vfstab.new /etc/vfstab

> Everyone,
> I am not a scripting guru, please don't hold it against me. I just
> needed to modify the /etc/vfstab on several machines at one time and
> unsure how to do that.
> Basically, I need to find the machine name in the vfstab and comment it
> out.

> ex. test1:/mountpoint
>

> #test1:/mountpoint.

> Any suggestions are welcome.
