Bash: Sed replacing all occurrences except one
I need to replace all patterns of either AllowUsers, #AllowUsers or # AllowUsers in a file.
I've got that part covered with sed -e 's/^\s*#\?AllowUsers.*//'
But the thing I'm having trouble with is that it should leave one occurrence in the file and remove everything else.
Let me know, thank you in advance!

awk '/AllowUsers||#AllowUsers||# AllowUsers/&&c++ {next} 1' did the job!
