Search for symbolic links 3

[TSch]

Hi folks,

is there a way to search the system for symbolic links (created by using ln -s) and give a list of all symbolic links found ?

hi

you can do something like

ls -lRt | grep "^l" # l for symbolic link files

find with the -type l option? Presumably using an -exec ls -la {} will give you the paths.

I want to be good, is that not enough?

Ken, no need for a -exec, the find builtin -ls gives that info also:

[tt]find . -type l -ls[/tt]


HTH,

Indeed it will, p5, good catch!
