I'm trying to get rid of bad symlinks but am unsuccessful. I have a
script that creates symlink commands like this:
$ pushd '/afs/cellname/home/myUserID/proj/' && symlink make -name
'mySymLink' -to '/afs/cellname/path/to/files/'
However, sometimes these commands fail... like today ;) This does not
work to remove them:
$ rm mySymLink
Two scenarios encountered:
1. Sometimes the symlink is created & is to a non-existent dir/volume so
it's bad. But a command like "dir" (win) or "ls -al" (*nix) shows it is
there. However, I can't delete it as mentioned above.
2. Other times the symlink command seems to fail but a "dir" does NOT
show the symlink name in the directory either. But it seems to be there
because when I try to re-run the symlink command above I get this error:
$ pushd '/afs/cellname/home/myUserID/proj/' && symlink make -name
'mySymLink' -to '/afs/cellname/path/to/files/'
symlink:'mySymLink': code 0x11
But on the command line if I try to remove the link from above I get
$ rm 'mySymLink'
rm: cannot remove `mySymLink': No such file or directory
Any ideas??? What command can I successfully use in both linux and
cygwin (on windows)?
Thanks in advance,
aj
