Dear P.O., it is just intended to help those who wish to make ooRexx globally available to learn the ln- and rm-commands to do so. It will not be done automatically, one would need to copy the commands and then paste them to execute them. :)
Even if someone would forget deleting the symbolic links, they would not do any harm. To remove all broken symbolic links, one could use one of the suggestions from <https://www.commandlinefu.com/commands/view/2369/find-broken-symlinks-and-delete-them>, like: sudo find /usr/local -type l -exec test ! -e {} \; -delete On 16.07.2021 17:40, P.O.

The script only creates the commands it does not run them. In order to execute them you would need to copy the output in the Terminal to the clipboard and paste the commands from the clipboard to have them execute. > If the 2nd part is creating the steps necessary to „unlink" why do you not > create a shell script > of those lines?

Rexx comes with samples that demonstrate how to use C to interact with Rexx, on Windows you would find them in "ooRexx\samples\api". So they can be safely left out for the bare bone interpreter. ---rony > >> Am 16.07.2021 um 17:09 schrieb Rony G.
