problem after reboot

[felice_2]

hi to everybody,
I ask you a help.
I have lost the symbolic link after the reboot.
someone can tell me the motive.
Thanks

Hi,
have you checked that all the disks have mounted.
mount -a
You may have a link pointing to a file that is not accessable.
ls -l filename

The link won't go away just like that.
What kind of a link was that? Do you have any scripts/startup programs that might overwrite it? also check /etc/rc.log and syslog for boot errors.

A symbolic link would require an explicit rm command to remove and even if the underlying object pointed to does not exist, the soft link remains intact. The only thing that I can imagine that would remove a soft link is some sort of cleanup triggered by rc but then link would have to be in /tmp or /var/tmp unless someone has "improved" the standard cleanup rc'ed command.
