Can you provide the full command and syntax you are using to try to create your symlink, as well as a directory listing for the directory you are trying to create it in ? Also, what is the full text of the error that you get ?
In terms of creating the desired link, the least complicated method would be something like this:
That would have the effect of creating a symbolic link called archive that points to /wkspc/wff/Dev/data/ess/archive/DEL in whatever directory you cd'd into in the first step.

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)

elf_rand(3E)elf_rand(3E)NAME
elf_rand - random archive member access
SYNOPSIS
[flag... ] file... [library] ...
DESCRIPTION
and manipulate simple object files and archives. elf is an ELF descriptor previously returned from
provides random archive processing, preparing elf to access an arbitrary archive member. elf must be a descriptor for the archive itself,
not a member within the archive. offset gives the byte offset from the beginning of the archive to the archive header of the desired mem-
ber. See elf_getarsym(3E) for more information about archive member offsets. When works, it returns offset. Otherwise it returns 0,
because an error occurred, elf was null, or the file was not an archive (no archive member can have a zero offset). A program may mix ran-
dom and sequential archive processing.
EXAMPLES
An archive starts with a ``magic string'' that has bytes; the initial archive member follows immediately. An application could thus pro-
vide the following function to rewind an archive (the function returns -1 for errors and 0 otherwise).
#include <ar.h>
#include <libelf.h>
int
rewindelf(Elf *elf)
{
if (elf_rand(elf, (size_t)SARMAG) == SARMAG)
return 0;
return -1;
}
