[NTLUG:Discuss] Broken links

[jeremyb@univista.com]

 I just ran the initial find portion of this command and all it returned was
broken links.
I don't see this list in the man page as a behavior.  Shouldn't it return
all links?

 If you wanted to pull out only broken ones and act on those you could
add
this to the end.

| grep "No such file" | awk '{print $2}' | xargs <your command that acts
on
broken ones>

The command below appears to work for me:   Some of the following
links are directories while others are "plain" files.  Options of
-xtype or -type may be of some additional use.

[289] -=> find ~ -type l -follow -print
find: /home/rusty/Html/Tcl: No such file or directory
find: /home/rusty/Html/Java: No such file or directory
find: /home/rusty/Hardware/NewMicros/SMALLC/bar: No such file or
directory
find: /home/rusty/Hardware/NewMicros/baz: No such file or directory
find: /home/rusty/Mail.old/arcie: No such file or directory
