Help! a hard link was created by root, who used:
ln -f dir1 dir2
The "-f" creates a hard link as oppose to a soft (symbolic) link. The
problem is I want to remove the link but "rm" won't do it. It says
"directory not empty" even though it is (of course the original directory
isn't empty and I don't want to delete that directory)
The "unlink" command isn't on the system (what's the path to it anyway).
So is there an alternate way to remove this "hard" link?
[[Ed's Note: /usr/etc/unlink -bdg]]
Please respond suggestions ** ASAP ** by e-mail.
Thanks!!
