=INVESTIGATION 1: LINKING FILES=
<span style="color:red;">'''ATTENTION''': Effective '''May 9, 2022''' - this This online tutorial will be required to be completed by '''Friday in week 9 by midnight'''<br>to obtain a grade of '''2%''' towards this course</span><br><br>
In this investigation, you will learn how to create '''hard links''' and '''symbolic links''' on your Matrix account,<br>and observe the <u>advantages</u> and <u>limitations</u> of using both types of links.
# Issue the following Linux command: <br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -l ~/text-file.sym.lnk</span><br><br>This output indicates a "'''broken link'''" and indicates this is not an effective method of backing up files.<br><br>
# Issue a command to delete the <span style="font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">~/text-file.sym.lnk</span> file which is a ''broken link''.<br><br>
# Issue the following Linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ln -s ~murrayjason.saulcarman/myscripts checking-scriptsexample t8example</span><br><br>[[Image:symbolic-link-inode2.png|thumb|right|500px|'''Symbolic links''' can be used to point to '''directories''' as well as regular files. Symbolic links can also point to files on '''other''' Unix/Linux filesystems.]]# Issue the following Linux command:<br><span style="color:blue;font-weight:bold;font-family:courier;">ls -ld checking-scriptst8example</span><br><br>What do you notice? Symbolic links are good for creating "short-cuts" to <u>both</u> '''regular files''' and '''directories'''.
