Hi David Zaslavsky,

Recently i was working on modifying the Symbolic links ... for a particular files.. while searching on internet i saw your post ... I am trying to use this script which you had posted ..

find /home/user/public_html/qa/ -type l \ -lname '/home/user/public_html/dev/*' -printf \ 'ln -nsf $(readlink %p|sed s/dev/qa/) $(echo %p|sed s/dev/qa/)\n'\

script.sh

SO i tried to modify your script for my problem .. in Hp unix env.. but it seems that the -lname command does not works for HP unix. do you know something equivalent that i can use ...

Just to give you and idea of my problem ...

I want to change all the symbolic links inside a particular folder ..

New Symbolic link --> /base/testusr/scripts Old Symbolic link --> /base/produsr/scripts

Now folder "A" contains more than 100 different files having soft links which points to this path --> /base/produsr/scripts

But what I want is that the files inside folder A to point to this soft link -->/base/testusr/scripts

I am trying to achieve in Hp unix ... would really appreciate your help on this ...
