Should I copy the logs across then make the link? How do I actually make the link? Do I make it for each file or can I do this for the whole directory? Both Link and symlink do not seem to work, although I can find no instructions/examples and the man seems light on detail. This is in FreeBSD Stable 4.0. With many thanks in advance.
