I've tried: ~/Documents$ ln -sv ~/Documents/saga /media/mariajulia/485f3e29-355c-4be3-b80a-1f5abd5604b6/mariajulia/Downloads/saga..doc to create a symlink named saga in my Documents directory in my home folder.

It seems my question is not very useful. Should I delete it? Or you convert your comment in the reply so I could accept it as solved :) –maria Oct 30 '14 at 9:57 3 Your question has a score of four, so apparently the community decided that it is useful. Also, even if you tried you wouldn't be able to delete the question, since it has an answer with a score of 1 or more. –11684 Oct 30 '14 at 19:29 I got my answer to this question from here (on this forum): askubuntu.com/questions/379647/… –wayneeusa Jun 24 '15 at 7:57 add a comment| 3 Answers 3 active oldest votes up vote 16 down vote accepted This is a classical error... it's the other way around: ln -s Existing-file New-name so in your case ln -sv /media/mariajulia/485f3e29-355c-4be3-b80a-1f5abd5604b6/mariajulia/Downloads/saga..doc ~/Documents/saga should work.

Unable To Create Symbolic Link Bitnami
it works: Anybody can ask a question Anybody can answer The best answers are voted up and rise to the top Why create a link like this: ln -nsf? up vote 18 down vote favorite 2 What does this do? http://askubuntu.com/questions/543516/what-is-a-failed-to-create-a-symbolic-link-file-exists-error ln -nsf I know ln -s creates a symbolic link, not a hard link which means you can delete it and it won't delete the think that it's linking to. But what do the other things mean? (-nf) Update: okay...so I remembered you can find this stuff out from the command line. Here's what I found out from typing ln --help: -f, --force remove existing destination files -n, --no-dereference treat destination that is a symlink to a directory as if http://superuser.com/questions/81164/why-create-a-link-like-this-ln-nsf/81168 it were a normal file But this still isn't very clear to me what the implications of this are. Why would I want to create a soft/sym link like this? linux command-line share|improve this question edited Dec 10 '09 at 2:21 asked Dec 10 '09 at 2:04 Andrew 5,247245275 migrated from stackoverflow.com Dec 10 '09 at 2:11 This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers. Even if you don't use -s you can delete the link without deleting the original file. Hard links increase the link count of the file so it won't be deleted when you delete only one of the links to it. –Amok Dec 10 '09 at 2:08 That's not quite the difference between a hard link and a symbolic link. A hard link points to the same bytes (inode) on disk. A soft link points to another file by filename. –Greg Hewgill Dec 10 '09 at 2:10 There are also man pages. i.e. run man ln. Or man man, to learn about that help system. You can get man pages online, too... –Peter Cordes Dec 10 '09 at 2:40 add a comment| 6 Answers 6 active oldest votes up vote 23 down vote accepted From the BSD man page: -f If the target file already exists, then unlink it so that the link may occur. (The -f option overrides any previous -i options.) -n If the target_file
am a new Ubuntu Linux and bash shell user. I also know how to redirect output from display/screen to a file using the following syntax:
cmd > file ls > fileHowever, some time errors are displayed on screen. How do I store http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-redirect-error-output-to-file/ and redirect output from the computer screen to a file on a Linux or Unix-like systems? Bash / ksh and other modern shell on Linux has three file descriptors:stdin (0)stdout (1)stderr (2)Syntax To redirect all output to fileThe syntax is as follows to redirect output (stdout) as follows:command-name > output.txt command-name > stdout.txtSyntax To redirect all error to fileThe syntax is as follows to redirect errors (stderr) as follows:command-name 2> errors.txt command-name 2> stderr.txtSyntax to redirect symbolic link both output (stdout) and errors (stderr) to different filesThe syntax:command1 > out.txt 2> err.txt command2 -f -z -y > out.txt 2> err.txtSyntax to redirect both output (stdout) and errors (stderr) to same fileThe syntax is:command1 > everything.txt 2>&1 command1 -arg > everything.txt 2>&1Syntax to redirect errors (stderr) to null or zero devicesData written to a null or zero special file is discarded by your system. This is useful to silence out errors (also know as ‘error to create symbolic spam'):command1 2> /dev/null command1 2> /dev/zero command2 -arg 2> /dev/null command2 -arg 2> /dev/zeroTip: Use tee command to redirect to both a file and the screen same timeThe syntax is:command1 |& tee log.txt ## or ## command1 -arg |& tee log.txt ## or ## command1 2>&1 | tee log.txtAnother usage:#!/bin/bash # My script to do blah ... foo(){ : } 2>&1 | tee foo.logOR#!/bin/bash # My script to do blah ... { command1 command2 } 2>&1 | tee script.log Share this tutorial on:TwitterFacebookGoogle+Download PDF version Found an error/typo on this page?About the author: Vivek Gite is a seasoned sysadmin and a trainer for the Linux/Unix & shell scripting.
