under /home/scrript , we have 187 bash scripts
all the scripts have the following line:
kill -PIPE $PID
we want to add the following words before this line on all the scripts as the following
[[ $KILL_STATUS = YES ]] && kill -PIPE $PID
the reason for that is to avoid editing of each script , and use Linux commands as sed to do in one shoot on all the scripts,
linux text-processing awk sed perl

$ for i in /home/scrript/*; do sed -i 's/kill -PIPE $PID/[[ $KILL_STATUS = YES ]] && kill -PIPE $PID/' "$i"; done
Explanation
for i in /home/scrript/*; do FOO; done: repeat for all files in/home/scrript. N.B. depending on your shell configuration this might skip dot files.
sed -i 's/kill -PIPE $PID/[[ $KILL_STATUS = YES ]] && kill -PIPE $PID/' "$i": for each file ("$i"), replace "in-place" (sed -i), replacingkill -PIPE $PIDwith[[ $KILL_STATUS = YES ]] && kill -PIPE $PID. (N.B. you need to escape the&as they have a special meaning otherwise.
