Hi there,
Is there a way to have a link (pointing to a directory) resolved to the
target directory when changing directory to that link ?
Here is what I am trying to achieve:
$ ln /cygdrive/c/downloads
$ cd downloads
$ pwd
/cygdrive/c/home/teggy/downloads
$
When running the last 'pwd' command, rather than having
/cygdrive/c/home/teggy/downloads (which the current directory appended with
downloads) I would rather like to have /cygdrive/c/downloads ...
I remember seeing that on some sun platform for the root user but don't know
the inner details.
Thanks for the help,
Cheers,
Teggy
