symbolic link script

rismoney · 02-24-2009, 07:53 PM

I have a folder structure that looks like this

/share/name01/thumbs
/share/name01/pics
/share/name01/orig
/share/name02/thumbs
/share/name02/pics
/share/name02/orig
.
.
.

What I would like is to have a little sh script I can run in my master folder that loops through all the folders in the specified tree and creates symbolic links (ln) to just the /orig subdir and names the links:
/master/name01/orig
/master/name02/orig
.
.
.

Can anyone assist?
