How do u create a symbolic link?

[mikeparks]

ln --help

i.e.

ln -s /usr/share/zoneinfo/GMT /etc/timezone

this will create timezone that points to GMT

[u2mike]

so "in" is the command

[mikeparks]

not in, but ln. l as in the 24th alphabet.

[Craig McPherson]

"ln", not "in". That's an ell, not an eye. "ln" as in short for "link."

"ln" is for creating hard links, "ln -s" is for symbolic links.
