Hello all,
I am having a bit of a problem with the ln command.
If i give the command
ln -s "/data/mp3/Nelly" "/datastore/alfabet/N/Nelly"
Then I expect only in the directory "/datastore/alfabet/N/"
a symboly link named "Nelly" being created.
BUT also (!) in "/data/mp3/Nelly" a symbolic link "Nelly"
is created and it is referenced to /data/mp3/Nelly
(there was already a directory calles "DaDerrty.......blablabla)

What am i doing wrong ?????????????????????????
Fons,
I'm not quite sure where your symlink should point to, but
the general usage is:
ln -s source target
i.e. if you have
/data/mydir
and you want a symlink of mydir in /otherdata do this:
# ln -s /data/mydir /otherdata/mydir
Cheers,
Hannes.
