Hallo, Hans hat gesagt: // Hans wrote: > in the subdir, or > > for i in ./dir1/*.mp3; do ln -s $i $i;done Almost, but you're trying to link a file on itself here ("$i->$i"). Use this instead: $ for i in ./dir1/*.mp3; do ln -s $i . ;done or even more general: $ for i in */* ; do ln -s $i . ; done Ciao -- Frank Barknecht _ ______footils.org_ __goto10.org__
