  • This creates an empty script.sh. And running the find command as so: find /home/user/public_html/qa/ -type l -lname '/home/user/public_html/dev/*' doesn't output anything.

  • You did remember to change the paths to the actual ones on your filesystem, right? What happens if you run just find /home/usr/public_html/qa/ -type l? If that doesn't find the links, something very weird is going on with your system.

  • Yes, "find /home/user/public_html/qa/ -type l" outputs the links. But adding the -lname parameter it doesn't output anything.

  • Actually, on further testing it looks like this is working. Not sure what I was doing wrong yesterday, but seems ok now. Thanks.

  • Huh, weird. Well, if you ever figure out what was going wrong, put a comment here. I'm curious.
