I agree; I haven't used it on Linux, but as long as it's unambiguous, like $ ln -i foo bar Link bar to foo? I must say that ln is the only utility I regularly have to think about every time I want to use both arguments. After losing a good 5 files to it, I stopped using the -f argument :) Anyway, it makes sense that if rm/mv/cp have -i and -v, ln should, too. > Alex > -- > cat: /home/alex/.sig: No such file or directory > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message -- Brian Fundakowski Feldman \ FreeBSD: The Power to Serve! / green@FreeBSD.org `------------------------------' To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-arch" in the body of the message
