program location
Hello all,

one of application on system requires that "uname" program is in "/usr/uname" location. I can find uname in "/usr/bin/uname" location. Is it possible to present the /usr/bin/uname as that it was located in /usr/uname location?

Thank you in advanced,
M

/usr/uname sounds strange. Usually this binary is located in /bin/uname and/or /usr/bin/uname.
I would first go and check if this application can be altered to look at the correct path/location. If there is no way, you could try creating a softlink:
Code:
ln -s /usr/bin/uname /usr/uname
