==>I have some web sites hosted on a UNIX server. I have created several
==>softlinks from one directory on the server to another directory (using the
==>ln command from the command line). I need to remove the link now, but
==>cannot find documentation on how to do so. I am sure there is documentation
==>available, but the search engine results are not at all a help.
==>
==>What is the proper way to do this?
rm name_of_softlink
For the truly parnoid
ls -l name_of_softlink
(look and see it truly is - the first field will look like
lrwxrwxrwx)
then type
rm -i name_of_softlink
(This will ask you if you really want to remove it)
for those who don't care then the following will override
and precautions that might be there...
\rm name_of_softlink
Remember everything is a file or a directory in *NIX
so rm is the way to go....
HTH
As Always
