HI, I have a filesystem containing a symbolic link. pglc0003> ls -l |grep TA lrwxrwxrwx 1 cleaw adm 26 Nov 19 17:23 TA -> /pgadm1/adm/cleaw/tempArea
I'd like to copy the symbolic link TA to the /tmp area, I'd also like to have the directory tempArea from /pgadm1/adm/cleaw/tempArea to be updated in /tmp by just copying the symbolic link. During this process, I wish to have the tempArea directory name preserved in the /tmp directory. I've tried the following: 1) pglc0003> rsync -avzu --copy-links /pgadm1/adm/cleaw/TA /tmp TA/ TA/--compress.Z TA/Subnets/ TA/Subnets/file_176.Z TA/Subnets/file_177.Z TA/Subnets/file_178.Z TA/Subnets/file_201.Z However, the /tmp now contains a directory TA, having the contents of /pgadm1/adm/cleaw/tempArea/. Seems that the options used in rsync above did not preserve the original name of the pointed-to filesystem when copied to another file-system. 2) pglc0003> rsync -avzlu --copy-links TA /tmp building file list ... done TA/ TA/--compress.Z TA/Subnets/ TA/Subnets/file_176.Z TA/Subnets/file_177.Z TA/Subnets/file_178.Z TA/Subnets/file_201.Z Method (2) did not work either. Is there another method which I could use to preserve the name of the pointed-to filesystem by just copying the name of its symbolic link?
