Symlinks are actually very simple pointer files. It's quite easy to end up with links pointing at missing files or the wrong files by creating them incorrectly.
In your case, you asked for a link called "text.txt" (because you only specified a directory as the second arguement) pointing to "text.txt" and to place it in the 'test' directory.
It did what you asked
If you want a relative symlink pointing to text.txt in the test directory, you need to create it from within the target dir. Otherwise, you can use an absolute link instead:
Would I be correct in assuming that find doesn't bother recursivley searching down sim links. (It doesn't seem to so I guess it doesn't!!!) Is there anyway to make it do so? (3 Replies)

But if I rename main.cpp to main.c and execute
"gcc main.c -o main func.o" - ok. If anybody,... (3 Replies)

Hello
A new file is created every day with the date appended to the end of a name. We are using Autosys to run jobs which watches for the file and runs jobs. But Autosys does not have the capability to figure out the current date.

Hi. Can somebody tell me if there's a way of creating a symbolic link from a directory on one filesystem to that on another that will allow a find command that doesn't use the -L param to locate a particular file under that new 'linked' dir. With a normal sym link the find command on that... (6 Replies)

unix2dos a.txt b.txt
unix2dos -o a.txt b.txt
Convert and replace a.txt in ASCII conversion mode. Convert and replace b.txt in ISO conversion mode.
unix2dos a.txt -c iso b.txt
unix2dos -c ascii a.txt -c iso b.txt
Convert and replace a.txt while keeping original date stamp.
unix2dos -k a.txt
unix2dos -k -o a.txt
Convert a.txt and write to e.txt.
unix2dos -n a.txt e.txt
Convert a.txt and write to e.txt, keep date stamp of e.txt same as a.txt.
unix2dos -k -n a.txt e.txt
Convert and replace a.txt. Convert b.txt and write to e.txt.
unix2dos a.txt -n b.txt e.txt
unix2dos -o a.txt -n b.txt e.txt
Convert c.txt and write to e.txt. Convert and replace a.txt. Convert and replace b.txt. Convert d.txt and write to f.txt.
unix2dos -n c.txt e.txt -o a.txt b.txt -n d.txt f.txt
DIAGNOSTICS BUGS
