    ln is the command to create links. check its manpage to see what you can do with it
    Code:
    man ln

    I don't think you can hard-link a directory. Directories are supposed to have n+2 hard links where n is the number of subdirectories (1 link to the directory name, 1 to '.' and 1 to '..' in each subdirectory. Some programs like find rely on this relationship, so they'd have problems if you could add further hard links.

    You can't. I recommend you try to see if your intends can be achieved by a soft link. Sorry
