Just use Perl for one-liners. It's more powerful than sed/awk but it does pretty much everything those do.

Perl is probably overkill for 99% of one-liners and may not be available on as many environments as awk/sed are, but I advocate that folks do whatever is best for them in their environment and if that's Perl for you, rock it out!
If Perl isn’t available in the environment try ‘systemctl start oyster-farm’
