Alan Why go to the trouble of using Qshell and unix? Doesn't the ADDLNK command do the same thing? ADDLNK OBJ('/www/test/logs') NEWLNK('/tlogs')

Ronnie, You are right, ADDLNK also works, and would be easier for many readers. The reason to learn the Unix command ln -s is to do something useful while getting experience with Unix on iSeries. Also, cross-platform software packages often use ln -s in their setup procedures; users would do well to become familiar with it. Regards, Alan
