removing a soft link
 
What is the command for removing a soft link?:study:

MasterC 03-05-2003 09:09 AM
rm /path/to/soft/link

:)

If you want to over-ride it with another softlink:
ln -sf /whatever/file /soft/link

Cool

What is the difference between rm and unlink then?

Because I use unlink

Unlink is specifically for removing a single named link file per instance of usage; rm is for removing anything (or everything).
