View Config Files Without Comments

Article Number: 23 | Rating: Unrated | Last Updated: Mon, May 21, 2018 9:23 PM

I’ve been using the following grep invocations to trim comments out of config files

 

 

#grep ^[^#] /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
or
#egrep -v "^#|^$" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
or
#grep -v "^#" /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
