Once they are set they are there until you remove them.  They're like
directories, they are always there.  Restarting and shutting down
doesn't affect them.

Suppose I have a directory called /mnt/data_drive/source
where I keep source code on my data drive.

Then, in my home directory, I just have the link source, that I set up
as
ln -s /mnt/data_drive/source source
Once that is in place, if I am in my home directory I can type
cd source
and it will take me to /mnt/data_drive/source, and if I am somewhere
else I can type
cd ~/source
and it will do the same thing.
