linking directories help 1

[GuzaPasha]

How to link two directories on separate file systems. Let explain u in more details:

suppose that i have following directories
/filesystem1/dir1
/filesystem2/dir2

after linking them. files i want to copy into the folder dir1 are copied into the dir2. Listing the content of the dir1 i can see links to all files that are now in dir2. So my program will still see those files over links. This is not going to be static linking, but i will very often copy some files into the dir1 and don't want to make any linking again.

Thanx in advance

Your request isn't clear for me.
Anyway, in the ln man page pay attention to the -s option.

Hope This Helps, PH.
