change ownership for symbolic link
Hi all,
i have this symbolic link file in which i have remove and recreated it and after changing the permission i do a ln -fs source file link file, i get a "file exists". This is able to work in AIX but not Solaris, so how do i solve this ? Thanks |
Hi DarReNz,
when I tried ln -s <somefile> <linktoit> It created a link to "somefile" named as "linktoit" Then I tried :- ln -s <newlinkname> <somefile> which gave following error:- ln: `somefile': File exists Then I tried :- ln -s <linktoit> <otherfile> It gave following error:- ln: `linktoit': File exists May be you have swapped positions mistakenly or the files really exist. Hope, this will help you |
