blinking red symlinks
Some symlinks in my home dir are blinking red today.
Code:
[root@jam ~]# ls -la | grep ^l Code:
[root@jam ~]# ls -l `ls -la | grep ^l | awk '{print $11}'` Code:
[root@jam ~]# rm maillog |
I'm thinking it has something to do with permissions. Can you read the files? Try 'less maillog' from your ~. Try 'ls -laL'.

Code:
[root@jam ~]# tail -1 error_log |
Maybe your computer has been invaded by zombies.

I thought I was losing my mind, that is got to be it. Thanks ;)

Have you tried doing file -b <symlink>? It's possible that the blinking red may indicate that it's broken… :-\
My :twocents:; hope it helps. |
Code:
[root@jam ~]# file -b maillog |
