listing the files without cd to the path
Hi all,

I want to check the list of all directories and links in a particular directory and here, i have the list of the directories/links which i need to print on screen.

I used the below command to check the dir/links,
Code:
cd path1 ; ls -ltd `cat dir_links_list`

But here, i don't want to cd to that path1 where i have to check the list of dir/links. Because, there are some files have to be processed in the current path. So Without cd to the path1 directory, is there any way to get the list the all dir/links?
i guess, we can get this using find also. But there are two issues in find command.

1. we can not pass the list of files to the find command which we need to print on screen.
2. And find command will check recursively in the given path, but i don't want to check it in recursively, i want to check the given list dir/links in top level directory only i.e., path1 directory.

Can anyone provide the way to achieve this using find or ls commands?

Regards,
VRN

NAME

       link() - link to a file

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       The  system  call  creates a new link (directory entry) for the existing file.  path1 points to a path name naming an existing file.  path2
       points to a path name naming the new directory entry to be created.

RETURN VALUE

       Upon successful completion, returns zero.  Otherwise, it returns -1 and sets (see errno(2)) to indicate the error.

ERRORS

       The system call fails and no link is created if one or more of the following is true:

	      A component of either path prefix denies search permission.

	      The requested link requires writing in a directory
			     that does not permit writing.

	      The user's or group's disk quota block limit has been reached for this file system.

	      The link named by
			     path2 exists.

	      path	     points outside the allocated address space of the process.  The reliable detection of this  error	is  implementation
			     dependent.

	      Too many symbolic links were encountered in translating either path name.

	      The maximum number of links to a file would be exceeded.

	      Either the specified path exceeds
			     bytes, or a component of either specified path exceeds while is in effect.

	      The file named by
			     path1 does not exist.

	      A component of either path prefix does not exist.

	      path2	     points to a null path name.

	      path1	     or path2 is null.

	      The directory to contain the file cannot be extended.

	      A component of either path prefix is not a directory.

	      The file named by
			     path1  is	a  directory  and  the	effective user ID is not a user who has appropriate privileges.  Some file systems
			     return this error whenever path1 names a directory, regardless of the user ID.

	      The requested link requires writing in a directory
			     on a read-only file system.

	      The link named by
			     path2 and the file named by path1 are on different logical devices (file systems).
