how do set permissions to - lrwxr-xr-t

[RAKESH_12]

The /bin link was deleted on one of out HP9000 servers. I was able to re-create the link but am unable to set the permissions to :

lrwxr-xr-t

Any ideas how!!??


Thanks in advance.

Try:

Hello,
It's a 'transition link' given only for compatility with earlier releases, but I know that in fact some HP product still need them ...

Hello Rakesh,
command to create symbolic link is
ln -s /usr/bin /

Yes, tlremove/tlinstall will cleanly recover from this. (/opt/upgrade/bin/tlinstall)
But it's really not a big deal. HP-UX totally ignores the permissions on a symbolic link,
other than displaying them with ll, etc.

Hi,

HP seems to use the sticky bit on symbolic links ONLY on transition links...
And there is no other reason/benefit for using it yourself.

FWIW,
