Editing config files is the only certain thing above taxes and death (too lame?). Whether it's your apache setup, or dns bindings its likely you use vi or another favorite editor to open your server's files, make that needed update and save. If you were good you copied the file first to a backup tagged by date. .. But managing that process manually is just a workflow annoyance.

So the script below backups the file, tags it with the date, and opens it for edit. Additionally you can set a maximum number of versions to track any given day.
It adds no more effort than calling vi..
