Re: [PLUG] Linking Directories Question

[Gary Duzan via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

ls -lap /docs/
   or
ls -lapH /docs

   The trailing slash forces it to follow the link to the target
directory, as does the -H.

=> I stumbled on the answer to this ages ago, but can't remember where I
=> found the answer.  Can somebody help?
=>
=>
=> My documents are stored under "/files/document"
=>
=> I want to reference them by "/docs"
=>
=> I execute "ln -s /files/document /docs"" to create a symbolic link.
=>
=> But, when I type "ls  -lap /docs", I get "lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Aug
=> 17 09:58 /docs -> /files/document/", but I wanted to simply see the file
=> list of the /files/document folder.
=>
=>
=> I've done it before, but can't remember how I did it.  Does anybody
=> remember the trick?
=>
=>
=> TIA!
