symbolic link

[panchpan]

Hello.
Can you please let me know the command for creating s links?
I want to create a link for my application say link1 and whenever any of the script uses link1 it must go to /home/app/link2.sh file

Thanks

# ln -s link1 /home/app/link2.sh

comment:

ln -s /home/app/link2.sh link1

above command links /home/app/link2.sh to new or existing 'link1' file

Thank you !

Also, can you tell me the command to replace #!/bin/ksh by #!/usr/bin/ksh in many of my shell scripts?

THANKS!

Hi,

It will give this error if there is some file or directory with name link1 in you current directory.

HTH,

# perl -pi -e 's{^#!/bin/ksh\b}{#!/usr/bin/ksh}' file

...will replace, in-place. You can specify multiple filenames as arguments if you choose.
