>What are the real value of symbolic links?? It is frequently true that what is the optimum location for data is not a convenient location for the human or the system. Symbolic links allow as many paths of access to data as you find convenient, and also provide device independence for filesystems, allowing you to place data where there is room for it, and place a pointer to it where users (or the system) expect it to be. If you're familiar with Microsoft Windows, you may consider symlinks roughly analogous to shortcuts. However, Windows shortcuts are not as flexible as Unix symlinks. Windows shortcuts are exclusively for the human interface; system processes will not transparently follow them to a target. - -d - -- David Talkington PGP key: http://www.prairienet.org/~dtalk/0xCA4C11AD.pgp - -- http://setiathome.ssl.berkeley.edu/pale_blue_dot.html -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGP 6.5.8 Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.75-6 iQA/AwUBPFywHL9BpdPKTBGtEQKbZgCgixbuQifYSQUQXFkuNGmgpzy6rpcAoLTi pBnCYjF8hkTKV5Du8t5jZs6K =K455 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
