Hi,
Quickly wanted to share this. It ain't no rocket science, but it's pretty usefull.

Next thing to do is just making sure that ${HOSTNAME} is added to the kettle.properties file and all worries are over.

perl -pi -w -e 's/10\.89\.0\.191/\$\{HOSTNAME\}/g;' *.ktr
-e means execute the following line of code.-i means edit in-place-w write warnings-p loop
