Can augtool take args and turn them into variables, which can be subsituted
in. eg say you had a script

  $ cat > nicsonboot.aug <<EOF
    set /files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0/ONBOOT $onboot
    set /files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0/ONBOOT $onboot
  EOF

Then you could do

  $ augtool nicsonboot.aug --onboot=no
  $ augtool nicsonboot.aug --onboot=yes


Or positionable vars

 $ cat > nics.aug <<EOF
    set /files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0/ONBOOT $1
    set /files/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-br0/ONBOOT $1
  EOF

Then you could do

  $ augtool nicsonboot.aug yes
  $ augtool nicsonboot.aug no
