issue with Symbolic link

Hi All,

I have to set a soft link to a directory, e.g.

Quote:
ln -s /cms/cmsUAT/server/cmu/Contribution /cms/cmsuat/server/cmu/contribution

it’s done, however I want it make it permanent and in case if any program is pointing to /cms/cmsuat/server/cmu/contribution it should go to /cms/cmsUAT/server/cmu/Contribution. Need your help!

Thanks in advance!

Symbolic links are as much as permanent as other files, i.e. they exist until they are removed.

Pretty easy don't rm it , unless you mean something else if so please let us know .

Issue is fixed.. it was more to do with the place where link was creating. Has been rectified.

Thanks for all your support!

either softlink or hardlink is permanet once created, it won't dismiss unless you can remove it...
