vi set comment #

[Johan Hendriks]

How can i in vi set a # on multiple Lines to comment out some text.

I know it must be a simple thing but i can not seem to get it right.

 

 

Like in a config file i have the following

 

define service{

        use                     generic-service

        host_name               w2003hk03

        service_description     Explorer

        check_command           check_nt!PROCSTATE!-d SHOWALL -l Explorer.exe

        }

 

And now i want to set a # to all the 6 lines.

 

Thanks for your time

Regards,

Johan
