Let me know any one solution for this problem. It is very urgent for me.

Thanks.

That is not working because you are trying to create a soft link when both source and destination exist. In soft link the destination is created with a name that you want to give to that link. The procedure that you are trying is good for creating hard links where both source and destination should exist.

You can however create a soft of your log file this way:

Try this: ln -s /full_source_path/filename /destination_full_path/file_name_of_your_choice_should_not_already_exist
