soft link error ln: /app/grainte/xng exists

[Binu K Varghese]

If you want to create link .Please dont create the destination directory

ie Remove v4.1.3.0
Then give ln -s /app/granite/products/granite/xng/v4_1_2 /app/granite/products/granite/xng/v4.1.3.0


Hope this works

Binu,

Could you please explain the problem correctly i.e. please explain the steps to reproduce the problem.

Also, let us know which version on HP-UX you are using. An output of what string (what /usr/bin/ln) would help us in recongnizing the actual problem.

Regards,

Anshu

Binu,
I am not clear about your problem but still i think you want to create a link to a directory. So this is how i will do it.

# mkdir dirname
# ln -s dirname linkname

Binu, it will be an historical thing to see Rabbit to an answer rather than to question. :))
