> Why not just use hardlinks then? You can replace your binary by...replacing your binary.
A bit of a trouble, if the binary is busy! You need to quit busybox completely before you can replace an open binary file. If you use symlinks it is easy to replace and maintain different versions of busybox binaries. You can then just do a rename swap or you do remove the old file (still open) and install the new binary in place. That's it. Using hardlinked symlinks is the solution to this problem. And it is nothing special ... only not very wide spread known/used. -- Harald _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
