Hello @Liorme,
OpenNebula VMs templates are stored in the DB so you cannot update any file at linux level.
You can create a bash script with the help of [onedb tool](http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/deployment/references/onedb.html#onedb-change-body) or you can use any of the [existing bindings](http://docs.opennebula.io/5.12/integration/system_interfaces/index.html) to do the changes at API level.
