Linking Files in UNIX (shortcuts)

jays337 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-14-2006

Hello,

Can anyone tell me how I can make a file link or shortcut in UNIX 4.0, several
file links where damaged during an outage examples below.

Examples: file -> file

libX11.so -> /usr/shlib/libX11.so.pre.O3D

All of the file links that were damaged were in /shlib and point to /usr/shlib

Thanks,
Jason

I received the following error message after attempting this.

Attempt:
ln -f libvxvm.so /usr/shlib/libvxvm.so

Error Message:
ln: libvxvm.so and /usr/shlib/libvxvm.so are located on different file systems.

Anyones help is greatly appreciated.

Jason

This was my mistake I should have used -fs ... not -f, NOT GOOD.

Thanks to all.

Jason
