It looks like bakunin was missing a double quote (shown in red on the 2nd line in the script below), but a space between the test argument and the closing square bracket is crucial. Try:
Hi,

After a few hours of frustration because I didn't understand why my symlinks are destroyed i just found out that sed -i will destroy symlinks.
I searched but i didn't found any good solution for this.
Is there any way to overcome this ? On my ubuntu server sed version is 4.1.5

Hello. I am working on creating a script to recursively run on my media collection. The goal is to recreate the folder structure, but with slight changes in the folder names based on my rules. The folders will also include the .jpg & .mkv files, renamed according to a similar set of rules.

Hi All,
Is there any way to create a symlink that will point to last 1000 line of a log file. My symlink will always point to "tail -1000 logfile".
This can be achieved by writing a script and scheduling with high frequency, but I am looking for some other alternatives.
Please let me know... (8 Replies)
i would like to remove a directory and also symlink target inside.
my_directory

-- file2 -> /targetpath/file2
rm -rf my_directory will not remove symlink target.

dpkg::path
Dpkg::Path(3) libdpkg-perl Dpkg::Path(3)NAME
Dpkg::Path - some common path handling functions
DESCRIPTION
It provides some functions to handle various path.
METHODS
get_pkg_root_dir($file)
This function will scan upwards the hierarchy of directory to find out the directory which contains the "DEBIAN" sub-directory and
it will return its path. This directory is the root directory of a package being built.
If no DEBIAN subdirectory is found, it will return undef.
relative_to_pkg_root($file)
Returns the filename relative to get_pkg_root_dir($file).
guess_pkg_root_dir($file)
This function tries to guess the root directory of the package build tree. It will first use get_pkg_root_dir(), but it will
fallback to a more imprecise check: namely it will use the parent directory that is a sub-directory of the debian directory.
It can still return undef if a file outside of the debian sub-directory is provided.
check_files_are_the_same($file1, $file2, $resolve_symlink)
This function verifies that both files are the same by checking that the device numbers and the inode numbers returned by
stat()/lstat() are the same. If $resolve_symlink is true then stat() is used, otherwise lstat() is used.
canonpath($file)
This function returns a cleaned path. It simplifies double //, and remove /./ and /../ intelligently. For /../ it simplifies the
path only if the previous element is not a symlink. Thus it should only be used on real filenames.
$newpath = resolve_symlink($symlink)
Return the filename of the file pointed by the symlink. The new name is canonicalized by canonpath().
my $cmdpath = find_command($command)
Return the path of the command if available on an absolute or relative path or on the $PATH, undef otherwise.
my $control_file = get_control_path($pkg, $filetype)
Return the path of the control file of type $filetype for the given package.
my @control_files = get_control_path($pkg)
Return the path of all available control files for the given package.
