Bash & Symbolic Links II

[RSH]

Hi,

i want to make symbolic links from existing files. Example

Directories:

workdir=/mnt/sdc3/workdir_temp

dir1=/usr/share/applications-desktop-files
dir2=/usr/share/applications

fullpath1=/$workdir/$dir1
fullpath2=/$workdir/$dir2

I want to make symbolic links from $dir1 to $dir2 inside the $workdir!

So, the target of symlink in $dir2 is $dir1 and NOT $workdir/$dir1

Any chance (how) to do this?

Thanks!

EDIT:

Code: Select all

cd $workdir

BNF=`basename "$file"`

ln -s "$dir1/$BNF" "$dir2/$BNF"

Did this and did work!

Could it be that easy???

NO!!! Did only work one time!

Need Help!!!
