symbolic link

[ub007]

Hi,

quick ques,
which command will tell me whether a directory is a symbolic link or not?
if it is a symbolic link, is there another command to show me which directories it is linked to?

Thanks in advance,
David

Just use the:
ls -l
command...you will see if it is a symbolic link from the first letter in attributes:
example: lrwxrwxrwx (it is a link)
example: drwxrwxrwx (it is a directory)
at the end of the line you will see the directoy that the link links to
