oh something else: prometheus# ls -la total 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 25 10:37 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 25 10:14 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 2 16:03 empty lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 6 Mar 25 10:37 symlink -> empty/ prometheus# rm symlink/ rm: symlink/: is a directory prometheus# rm -rf symlink/ recursively remove symlink/? y rm: symlink/: Operation not permitted prometheus# rm symlink prometheus# ls -la total 3 drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 25 10:37 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 512 Mar 25 10:14 .. dr-xr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Mar 2 16:03 empty prometheus#
I think if i specify the / at the end of symlink it will actually delete(or try to in this case) all sub folders if it can. Is that normal? and if it is, should that be the desired behavior, if its a ln -s link shouldnt it only delete the link rather than the contents of what its linking to? On 3/25/06, Kevin L.
