* Yep, some of you are no doubt nodding your heads - *that* stupid
* problem! Make a link tree to /cdrom/ports to save space and it works
* just spiffy for most of them, that is until the CDROM gets umounted
* somehow and your link now points into space.
Yup.
* To something a bit more intelligent which detects when the file is
* a broken link. I've tried adding a:
*
*
* if [ -h `/usr/bin/basename $$file` -o -h $$file ]; then
* .. bitch ..
* exit
* fi
*
* clause to the above in the obvious place, but it doesn't seem to work!
* Any ideas?
I don't know, you didn't tell me where the "obvious place" is. :>
Anyway, the following seems to work for me....
