Given:
Folder structure as (file.txt are plain text files in each directory, not symlinks):
/basedir/A/file.txt
/basedir/B/file.txt
/basedir/C/file.txt
The same file.txt that sits in /mydir:
/mydir/file.txt
I need a command that would run from /basedir that:
/file.txt (in .A/, ./B and ./C)file.txt files/mydir/file.txtCan that be done in a single bash command?
Thank you!
This will do it:
find /basedir -type f -name file.txt -exec ln -sf /mydir/file.txt '{}' \;
This finds all files named file.txt under /basedir, and runs ln on each to replace it (-f) with a symbolic link (-s) to /mydir/file.txt.
