Symbolic link to a script-help

[failureto]

hi

When I create symbolic link to a script file and then issue 'ls' command,the name of a link is displayed in red color and is pulsing.In contrast,if I create a link to normal file,the name of a link is not pulsing and is of color cyan

what am I doing wrong?

thank you

Nothing.
It's not a bug - it's a feature.

ls --color=no

switches colors off.
/etc/profile usually switches them on.

dircolors -p
dircolors --help

But then why aren't the other symbolic links(the ones I didn't create and are located in /etc/rc.d/init.d/rc3.d directory) that point to scripts files ,red colored and pulsating?

Could be the permissions set on the files.

IIt turns out it was a dead link.I created a link to /etc/rc.d/init.d/xinetd,but the file wasn't there.Somehow the script got deleted(have no idea how)
