Symbolic links and Bourne shell...

[Glenn Boysko]

In Bourne shell, how can you find the path pointed to be a symbolic link?

In C shell, you can type:

	% set linkpath = "`cd $SYMLINK; pwd`"

However, in Bourne shell, pwd returns the same value as SYMLINK.  Does anyone
know how to get this info in a Bourne shell without typing:

	% linkpath="`csh -c 'cd $SYMLINK; pwd'`"


Thanks,
Glenn
