Once they are set they are there until you remove them. They're like directories, they are always there. Restarting and shutting down doesn't affect them. > > 2. Could you give me an example of such a linking system, with names > changed to protect your privacy? Suppose I have a directory called /mnt/data_drive/source where I keep source code on my data drive. Then, in my home directory, I just have the link source, that I set up as ln -s /mnt/data_drive/source source Once that is in place, if I am in my home directory I can type cd source and it will take me to /mnt/data_drive/source, and if I am somewhere else I can type cd ~/source and it will do the same thing. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
