How to copy Softlinks and Hardlinks on Solaris system
807578Dec 11 2008 — edited Dec 11 2008hello...
I am solaris system. I want to copy two files to another folder, one of which is independent and other is Softlinked to first one.
Whenever I am using 'cp -p file1 file2', It only copy files i think, but not the links itself.
Following is the output I am getting
-bash-3.00# vi try1
-bash-3.00# ln -s try1 try2
-bash-3.00# ls -l
total 6
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 512 Dec 11 19:25 copy_dir
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Dec 11 18:59 try1
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Dec 11 18:59 try2 -> try1
-bash-3.00# cp -p try2 ./copy_dir/
-bash-3.00# ls -l ./copy_dir/
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Dec 11 18:59 try2
-bash-3.00# cp -p try1 ./copy_dir/
-bash-3.00# ls -l ./copy_dir/
total 4
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Dec 11 18:59 try1
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28 Dec 11 18:59 try2
-bash-3.00#
-bash-3.00#
why file try2 doesn't show link with file try1 as it was showing earlier...
