Hello guys,
I normally modify settings via gconf-editor for a key, but how can I edit the value of a specific key using a shell (bash) script?
I'm not aware of any other xml readers and editors which can edit %gconf.xml via the command line.
Thanks in advance

no, he's trying to edit an xml file (settings file), which wouldn't be as easy as to make a batch script to edit it. you'd need to make (or find) an app that reads it and lets you edit lines...or open it in notepad.

Regedit is for Windows and I know it can import keys via the command line, but then I'm running gnome... running "sudo gconf" doesn't do anything (command not found), and running "sudo gconf-editor" just runs the gconf-editor GUI as root.
I've officially noobed out ><

i don't get the last bit, how is that a problem? typing in sudo give you administrator access, which in linux is known as the root.
EDIT: oh wait, you're trying to do batch commands aren't you...
