They have completely different meanings: '-xtype l' finds files which are themselves symlinks. That's what your script is doing. Nothing I can see in the script detects that those links are bad, just that they are links, i.e. it will detect good links as well, so you probably don't want to just remove them automatically. '-L' means "follow symbolic links while descending the tree". The default for find is not to do this, as it can often mean searching outside the tree. You might want to install the symlinks package: Name : symlinks Version : 1.7 Release : 6.fc36 Architecture : x86_64 Size : 22 k Source : symlinks-1.7-6.fc36.src.rpm Repository : @System Summary : A utility which maintains a system's symbolic links URL : http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/utils/file/ License : Copyright only Description : The symlinks utility performs maintenance on symbolic links.
