[QUOTE="seandavi, post: 1100334, member: 169569"] I run a small heterogeneous cluster of linux and Mac workstations. The Macs are running 10.6.3 (snow leopard). The behavior of symbolic links on the Macs is a bit different from the linux machines which causes problems when specifying paths that are supposed to be identical on the two architectures. For example, I use automounting to pull in some NFS shares on the Mac. Those are in /net/.... I would like those directories to match the names on linux, so I create symbolic links in /import/.... That all works fine. However, when I run a program (typically command-line), the directory name reported is the /net/.... instead of the /import/.... Is there a way to have the behavior be more linux-like in that the directory name reported is the local path and not the actual mount point? Thanks, Sean [/QUOTE]
