Link files in unix
Can anyone say some ideas about using/creating link files (for ex., lrwxrwxrwx 1 bin bin 7 Jan 10 2001 bin -> usr/bin) in a shell script.

Not sure what you are looking for. I've never found the need to create links in a script. For information on how to create a link, read the man page for ln. Post back with further info on specifics of what you are attempting.
