Hi Paul,
Thanks for the quick response. readlink -f does almost everything I
want. The only thing it does not do is to verify whether the path is valid.
I can add this on very easily in my script.
That got me thinking. If the path doesn't exist then
I think readlink -f should just return the canonicalized
path (the output from realpath). That would be more useful
that just stopping at the first invalid path component?
I.E. I think the output from the following should be
/usr/1/2/3 rather than /user/1
readlink -f /usr/share/../1/2/3
P�draig.
