Symbolic Link
Haven't been using UNIX for quite a while, but tonight I suddenly have a need to use Symoblic Link to do some stuff. It's mainly for redirect all my IM log message (I am using Adium, by the way) to a place that I can do batch backup.
So I follow the instruction here, using the following command:
ln -s /Volumes/FAT32ZONE/_\ To\ Save/_\ My\ Stuff/Adium_IM_Log/Logs ~/Library/Application\ Support/Adium\ 2.0/Users/Default/Logs
well, I saw that a dynamic link called Logs is created in the Library/..../Logs folder, but the message redirection still didn't work.
Finally I found out that I need to use the symbolic "Logs" to replace the actually Logs folder. So I deleted the Logs folder and replaced it with dynamic link (done in finder). And everything is working now.
