[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

sorry for the typo, the last command should be the below:

~$ sed -e '/127.0.0.1/d' -e "1i 127.0.0.1 localhost\n127.0.0.1
$HOSTNAME.domainname $HOSTNAME" testfile
127.0.0.1 localhost
127.0.0.1 node1.domainname node1
# comment
::1     localhost ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
