Searching for symbolic links


I have this old workstation that has an old copy of PHING working perfectly. It worked by adding some symbolic links but I can't remember what they were, and my colleague has left the firm.

How do I look for ALL the symbolic links in the harddisk, in order for me to examine them?

The following command should do what you are looking for:

Code:
find /* -type l
