Hi James,
Thanks for your help provided. I tried to use the function provided, but it
didn't help much. The symbolic link is not getting refreshed & still shows
the broken target path. I noticed that if i browse the complete target path
in finder before launching the .app thru symlink, it works fine.
Thanks,
Sachin
