SYNOPSIS

       cdscp set link link-name attribute-name = attribute-value

ARGUMENTS

       The  full  name	of  the  soft link.  The name of the attribute to be modified.	Specify only one attribute at a time.  See Description for
       valid attribute names.  The value of a particular attribute.

DESCRIPTION

       The set link command changes the value of a modifiable, single-valued attribute of a soft link.	The following are valid attributes: Speci-
       fies the full name of the directory, object entry, or other soft link to which the soft link points.  Specifies a timeout value after which
       the soft link is either checked or deleted.  The timeout value contains both an expiration time and an  extension  time.  If  a	soft  link
       expires and its target entry is deleted, the soft link is deleted. If the soft link still points to an existing entry, its life is extended
       by the expiration time. Specify expiration-time in the format yyyy-mm-dd-hh:mm:ss (year-month-day-hour:minute:second).  Specify	extension-
       time in the format ddd-hh:mm:ss (day-hour:minute:second).

   Privilege Required

       The  following  command	redirects a soft link named /.:/admin/work_disk from its current destination name, /.:/admin/work_disk01, to a new
       destination name, /.:/admin/work_disk03.  cdscp> set link /.:/admin/work_disk CDS_LinkTarget = /.:/admin/work_disk03
