Requirement here is say in the server1 i have a directory /spa/5.0.in that directory there are so many links exist.
Example links:
genver -> sa0_genver_releasegenlibs -> sa0_genlibsscripts -> /spa/common/5.0/scriptsfiletran -> /spa/common/5.0/filetrandata -> /spa/common/5.0/dataI have tried following command to find out the links are exist or not.

methyl - something is not kosher
jlliagre is correct POSIX behavior for ls -L is to report no file found, when the "destination file" for the link does not exist.
Is that an HPUX feature?
Yes, works on HP-UX 11.11. Never noticed on other Operating Systems because I rarely get problems with soft links.
Wrote a script to use this quite recently after needing to move and rename a filesystem and correct various broken links en masse.
I have a quite different and longer script for finding all links to any file which has links (soft or hard) which detects broken links by more conventional methods. It was unsuitable for my recent purpose until after the repair.
I need to check whether a file exists and has been changed.
The file should contain a specific string. The file should also have been changed within the last ten seconds.
How do I do that? (3 Replies)
