Creating Symbolic Link

[teky]

Hello Everybody,

I am trying to create a Symbolic Link from on one of the directories in /opt/bea/weblogic/.
My directory name in this directory is sun and the symbolic link I need is for /opt/bea/sol1/application23sep.

Can anybody explain how we can create the symbolic link.

Thanks in advance,
Teky.

Here is the syntax for creating a soft link:
ln -s <directory or file you want the link to point to> <name of the link>.

For eg. if i wanted to have a link called 'java' to point to /usr/j2sdk1.2/bin/java created in the '/usr/bin' directory, I would issue the following command in the '/usr/bin/java' directory:

/usr/bin/:unix prompt:> ln -s /usr/j2sdk1.2/bin/java java

This will create a link called java in the /usr/bin directory. So, when someone types in /usr/bin/java, they are actually invoking /usr/j2sdk1.2/bin/java
