        Hi admins,

        I want to make a ln (in tcsh) which is updated each time I
        change the linked name.
        Say I make ln -sf ../dir1 link1
        Ls gives : link1 -> ../dir1 (Ok)
        Then I say ln -sf ../dir2 link1 ( I use -sf which is
        supposed to force the removal of existing target path names)
        but ls gives always the
        old link1 -> ../dir1, I have first to remove link1 thing I don't
        want to do.

        Any idea ??

        TIA

        JEAN
