For such symbolic links in ISHELL add the trailing slash (e.g., /etc/, /var/, etc.).

To be on safe side we changed DDDEF from * to /Service* and mounted root file system on this. This installation process create couple of sub directory like SSH under /etc and RUN directory under /var. But these sub directory ( RUN and SSH) were already existing under ( /VAR and /ETC). So we wanted to delete it . But when I tried using ISHELL and checking the structure of /etc , I got surprised and seen below result. Symbolic Link Attributes Pathname : /etc External link . . : 0 File size . . . . : 12 File owner . . . . : STCUSER(0) Group owner . . . : STCGROUP(1) Last modified . . : 2008-10-17 11:55:58 Last changed . . . : 2008-10-17 11:55:58 Last accessed . . : 2008-10-17 11:55:58 Created . . . . . : 2008-10-17 11:55:58 Link count . . . . : 1 Device number . . : 1 Inode number . . . : 3238 Seclabel . . . . . : Symbolic link contents: More: + * $SYSNAME/etc * In this it has created the symbolic link for /etc and incorporated $SYSNAME before that. I am not sure how system did it . The same when I see directory structure of /etc/ssh *Directory List* Select one or more files with / or action codes.

Can you please help me, what are changes I have to make to complete my process, so that I can delete my ssh and run sub directory.
