A Perl enthusiast, I earn my living doing Unix/Linux system administration and light systems programming. In a former life I was an ALGOL systems programmer before finding my real love was for Unix. My education is scientific with a Master of Science degree.

What's the difference between a hard links and copied files? @EmanuelBerg Create a simple shell script that echos $0 (the name by which it is run). Now create one or more links to the script. Run the script with its original name and by invoking the link. The lesson should be obvious, then. |

What's the difference between a hard links and copied files? @EmanuelBerg My point was that regardless of whether hard or soft links are used, it's the name by which the executable is invoked that determines the options and arguments that are valid for execution. |

What's the difference between a hard links and copied files? @rjmunro I beg to differ. The OP asked, "why would I want to use hard links at all?" |

Is there a way to find out when an OS instance was installed on a host? You might look at Perl's [local::lib]metacpan.org/module/local::lib) module which can be installed in your home directory to bootstrap the installation of other modules without infringing on the Perl installed with the OS. |
