It is risky to remove symlink targets! Imagine there's a symlink to /etc ...!
The following checks the link target to have at least two /. But e.g. a link to /etc/passwd would still delete /etc/passwd.

OCF_HEARTBEAT_SYMLIN(7) OCF resource agents OCF_HEARTBEAT_SYMLIN(7)NAME
ocf_heartbeat_symlink - Manages a symbolic link
SYNOPSIS
symlink [start | stop | monitor | meta-data | validate-all]
DESCRIPTION
This resource agent that manages a symbolic link (symlink).
It is primarily intended to manage configuration files which should be enabled or disabled based on where the resource is running, such as
cron job definitions and the like.
SUPPORTED PARAMETERS
link
Full path of the symbolic link to be managed. This must obviously be in a filesystem that supports symbolic links.
(required, string, no default)
target
Full path to the link target (the file or directory which the symlink points to).
(required, string, no default)
backup_suffix
A suffix to append to any files that the resource agent moves out of the way because they clash with "link".
If this is unset (the default), then the resource agent will simply refuse to create a symlink if it clashes with an existing file.
(optional, string, no default)
SUPPORTED ACTIONS
This resource agent supports the following actions (operations):
start
Starts the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 15.
stop
Stops the resource. Suggested minimum timeout: 15.
monitor
Performs a detailed status check. Suggested minimum timeout: 15. Suggested interval: 60.
meta-data
Retrieves resource agent metadata (internal use only). Suggested minimum timeout: 5.
validate-all
Performs a validation of the resource configuration. Suggested minimum timeout: 10.
EXAMPLE
The following is an example configuration for a symlink resource using the crm(8) shell:
primitive p_symlink ocf:heartbeat:symlink
params
link=string
target=string
op monitor depth="0" timeout="15" interval="60"
