I want to make it so every file is a seperate symlink in dir2 if and
only if it is a regular file (not a dir) in dir1... the reason is if
the file is unchanged then use symlink but I can rm the symlink and
replace it with a non-symlink:
To show the problem I am attempting to solve:
foo: (owned by fred)
arf:
ack
in barney's account:
ln -s ~foo/ foo
rm foo/arf/ack # Permissioin denied ... it should nuke the symlink
and let me then do something like "touch foo/arf/ack
This should give you at least a good start:
find foo/ \( -type d -exec mkdir -p copy/'{}' \; \) -o \( -type f -exec
ln -s '{}' copy/'{}' \; \)
That'll copy directory foo into copy/foo and the rest is fine. You'll
have to tweak the rest as you need but it'll get you started.
