If [ -h filesystem] question
Hi,

I have linux script for post install, there is a line shown below what I do not understand

Code:
 
if [ -h /opt/isv/testfile ]

then
　　　 rm -f /opt/isv/testfile
　　　 umask 000

Can any one explain me what
Code:
if [ -h /opt/isv/testfile ]

does.

From man test:
Quote:
-h file True if file exists and is a symbolic link. This operator is retained for compatibility with previous ver-
sions of this program. Do not rely on its existence; use -L instead.
