The comment '# Ignore dangling symlinks for now' seems pretty self-explanatory to me... try this: # touch thing # ln -s thing thing2 # [ ! -f thing2 ] && echo "thing2 doesn't exist" # rm thing # [ ! -f thing2 ] && echo "thing2 doesn't exist" thing2 doesn't exist # It is just skipping any links in rc?.d where the 'real' file linked to has been removed from /etc/init.d - this is something in the nature of a sanity check.
