Operating Systems Solaris How to remove soft link safely Post 302537189 by jim mcnamara on Thursday 7th of July 2011 10:32:35 AM

If I understand, the softlink does not point to an existing directory. unlinking the soft link would not affect the directory (in the case it exists) in any way to begin with.

Plus it would be faster if there are lots of files in /EABATCH/ENV/in/migrate to:
Code:
mv /EABATCH/ENV/in/migrate /EABATCH/ENV/in/data

which just renames the directory.

Env::Sanctify(3pm)					User Contributed Perl Documentation					Env::Sanctify(3pm)

NAME
Env::Sanctify - Lexically scoped sanctification of %ENV VERSION
version 1.06 SYNOPSIS
my $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( sanctify => [ '^POE' ] ); # do some stuff, fork some processes etc. $sanctify->restore { my $sanctify = Env::Sanctify->sanctify( env => { POE_TRACE_DEFAULT => 1 } ); # do some stuff, fork some processes etc. } # out of scope, %ENV is back to normal DESCRIPTION
Env::Sanctify is a module that provides lexically scoped manipulation and sanctification of %ENV. You can specify that it alter or add additional environment variables or remove existing ones according to a list of matching regexen. You can then either "restore" the environment back manually or let the object fall out of scope, which automagically restores. Useful for manipulating the environment that forked processes and sub-processes will inherit. CONSTRUCTOR
"sanctify" Creates an Env::Sanctify object. Takes two optional arguments: 'env', a hashref of env vars to add to %ENV; 'sanctify', an arrayref of regex pattern strings to match against current %ENV vars; Any %ENV var that matches a "sanctify" regex is removed from the resultant %ENV. METHODs "restore" Explicitly restore the previous %ENV. This is called automagically when the object is "DESTROY"ed, for instance, when it goes out of scope. AUTHOR
