#15 assigned enhancement

4OS2 should be symlink-aware

Reported by: Lewis Rosenthal Owned by:
Priority: minor Milestone: Version-3.10
Component: Base Version: 3.08
Keywords: soft link symlink Cc:

Description

Presently, it is not possible to execute an application (or cat a file) from a symlink. For example:

{0}[j:\tmp] ln -s "j:\PROGRAMS\SQLite Browser\os2\sqlite3.exe" ./sqlite3.exe

{0}[j:\tmp] sqlite3.exe
SYS0193: J:\tmp\sqlite3.exe cannot be run in a OS/2 session. "J:\tmp\sqlite3.exe
"

However, sh recognizes these files as expected:

{2}[j:\tmp] sh
# ./sqlite3.exe
SQLite version 3.7.8 2011-09-19 14:49:19
Enter ".help" for instructions
Enter SQL statements terminated with a ";"
sqlite> .quit
# exit

JdeBP executes symlinks as expected, but typing them results in spitting out the content of the link.
