Change symbolic link to something else

Hi everybody.
this is what i have: Using the "lndir" command in terminal I have a folder full of symbolic links to an external hard drive that is now unconnected. I want to be able to have spotlight index/search this folder so that if there is something on that hard drive i will know about it (its actually going to be nine drives and tons of files). But of course, spotlight will not index or find symbolic links, so what I want to do is run a script or unix command that changes these pointers into some other kind of file that spotlight will see. Same name, same place, but different type.
Since i already have the physical folder layout of the disconnected drive, it doesnt matter to me if the links are destroyed, i just want to be able to search for a file name and know what drive/folder its in so I can avoid plugging in ten drives in a daisy chain.
I was wondering if there is a script or unix command i can run that will make a copy of any file that has an "L" type designation or just copy the file name onto a misc other kind of file.
Alternately, is there a way to change these symbolic links into regular "aliases" that spotlight can search? again it doesnt even matter to me if the aliases point to a dummy location.
I'm not very good at command line syntax, so if you have any suggestions, please explain in dummy cabbage-head terms that I can replicate. if what i want to do is impossible or doable through some available widget or script, those answers would be super as well. Or if there is a better solution than the "lndir" command that can maybe make the same kind of directory copy but with aliases instead or symbolic links?
any options or ideas welcome. thansk!

no, you misunderstand. I do NOT want the files contents to be there (i'm not crazy), i just want the files NAMES to be there and searchable (an offline catalog). They are ALREADY on my home drive in the perfect structure but since they are a file type spotlight wont catalog (being just a symbolic link pointer file) i would like to change the file type to something it can see and thus find. I mean if there was a program or script or shell or something that would look at a file named SHADOWFILE.JPG and made say an empty textfile called SHADOWFILE.JPG.TXT, made the TXT suffix invisible and deleted the original SHADOWFILE.JPG, i would be left with a searchable file name. Or if these pointers can be turned into Aliases (even if they dont point to anything) then spotlight will find them. I know that you can turn an alias into a symbolic link, so is it unreasonable to do the reverse?
If none of this is possible, I realize I can use standalone external catalogers, but that is just not as elegant as having a single search for both internal and external devices at the same time, basically it would require doing two searches instead of one. I think this is a worthy goal.

  • Changed %windir% variable into something else and now most of my administrator files won't open

    I have an Alienware 14, Windows 7 . So I changed the variable %windir% into something else and now most of my administrator items won't open. A lot of my files won't open anymore. When I try to open some things, it would say "The system could not find
    the environment option that was entered." Help!!!

    Not so much wpf there really.
    Have you considered changing the %windir" variable back?
    To what it was before you broke it?
    Hope that helps.

  • CiscoWorks: How to change casuser name to something else?

    Hi,
    Due to our company policy, GPO applied on server, casuser is not allowed as a local administrator... Active Directory team says that if we change "casuser" name to any other name as per company policy, then they will be able to make it permanently local administrator.
    Are we able to change "casuser" name to anything else...
    Also can we use any other service than TASK SCHEDULER, as its also not allowed in GPO. Currently we are unable to make scheduled backups as TASK SCHEDULER is disabled.
    Thanks..

    to keep things clear, casuser does not need to be a member of the local administrator group it is a member of its own group, named "casusers"; It is just necessary to install LMS as a local administrator so that all necessary settings can be made during installation! But be aware that GPOs can overwrite the necessary rights for casuser (or casusers) and can be responsible for "sudden" problems a week or a month after a successfull and running installation.
    casuser can not be renamed.
    most of the scheduled jobs are maintened LMS internally and do not need "Task Scheduler" or "at"; the only periodic jobs I know of are logrotsch.bat and backupsch.bat to maintain logfile rotation and the database backup respectively. I would just try to set up these jobs in an alternative scheduler (btw. which one are you using ??). The only consequence I can imaging is that LMS can not report on the status of these jobs...
    Both .bat files are only wrappers around the .pl skripts doing the real job.
    You should get the permission to enable the task scheduler for a test, setup both jobs in the GUI like you need. When you have done this, open a DOS box, just type "at" and copy the command you see and use it for your own scheduler Then unconfigure the settings in the GUI
    Another possibility that comes into my mind is to tweak windows, so that the "at" command points to your own scheduler. You should play with doing this before or after setting up the Job in the GUI (I would start with "after")
    But be aware that this is not supported and Cisco TAC can reject any help befor you have reverted these settings.
    you alway can make backups with just using the command line:

  • How can I change the BlackBerry Link Network Drive mapping from Z: to something else?

    Hello,
    I generally have a mapping to my NFS server on Z:, and my iTunes library has a relative path to Z: for all of my music - the fact that Link is automatically picking Z: as my network sync target for my device does not work for me to sync music, or anything really. I can't figure out how to change this value to something else.
    I found the registry key: \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Research In Motion\Device Manager\Device Settings\<DEVICENAME>\VolumeMapping with a default blank REG_SZ - can I use this key at all to manually change drive mappings for my device? If so, what is the key/value pair I need and will this mess up any assumptions taken inside the Link software for synching?
    ... Also, I have a Feature Enhancement Request to go along with this issue: Add a "Change drive map letter" button beside the "Turn on wireless connections to my computer" button in Link, and add the same option in the context menu to the 'Device Manager' for the mapping (which currently just says 'Explore').
    Thanks for the help,
     - Jeff

    I do not know a lot about this subject but since Device Manager is not a Device and the BlackBerry Phone is not recognized as a Device in Disk management unless Mass Storage is turned ON it looks as if by design you cannot change the Drive Letter.
    Also if Mass Storage is turned On in the Phone Settings File Manager and BB link will not work but the BB Phone will then be recognized as a Device in Disk Management and the Drive Letter can be changed, this has no effect on the Drive Letters for Device Manager.
    Normally to change the Drive Letter and Paths of a Device once the Device is plugged you would go to Administrative Tools, Computer Management, Disk Management, right click the Device and choose "Change Drive Letter and Paths"
    Changing the Registry or Uninstalling Device Manager but keeping BB Link or looking for a Utility that can change the Drive Letter such as the one that many XP users had called TweakUI (only worked in XP) or changing the Drive Letter for your Network may be the only way.

  • Ps file saved as PDF on mac - opened on PC changes all colors to something different

    i made a PDF from my ps file in photoshop. I sent it to a printer. he gave me the proof and it was not the same color i had. he stated he couldnt change it because he is on a PC and the file i sent him when he opens in in PS switches to a bitmap. and everything ive done changes the colors to something else. How do i create a PDF from my ps file, to something that from a mac, any PC user can open and retain the info?

    Came here to complain about this maddening feature. Why it doesn't save the PDF out to a separate instance of the document is beyond me. PLENTY of us want to save the PDF without the layers, and want the PSD separate.
    "Oh good, I've completed this document.... let me just save it out as a PDF for client delivery and... Now all the work is gone."
    Genius, Adobe, genius. But it's cool--we'll just keep paying out the nose on a subscription basis with no fix for small errors like this.

  • Effect on symbolic link when changing volume name

    I just wanted to verify this information before I proceed with changing the name of my hard drive. I have 3 partitions of my MBP's internal drive. There is the system partition "Mac HD", a boot camp partition and a data only partition called "Storage". I have quite a few symbolic links on "Mac HD" which point to "Storage", where the data is stored. If I change the name of "Mac HD" and/or "Storage", will the symbolic links update to the new name of the volume automatically? Or, will the change of volume name break the symbolic links so I have to create them all over again? Everything I have read leads me to believe they will update, but I don't want to mess anything up and find out the hard way. A little confirmation would make me feel much better before I make the change.
    Thanks,

    I don't want to get off on a tangent about pros and cons of cloning, I just want to plant a seed of worry to review it at a later date. It is one thing to restore a disk image for a kiosk machine, it is something else entirely to restore an image of some machine that has had people using it. Misconfiguration, corrupt filesystems, and failed hard drives are some of the most frequent causes of failures. Having a clone of a system that has just failed for one of those reasons doesn't give me a warm fuzzy. It would be a much better idea to have a procedure (or script) to build a new server from scratch and load it from a backup (not a bitwise clone) of known, good data.
    Our computer use is typical. There are only a few employees who use the computers regularly, and a few people others who use it less often. the daily use is mostly for back end management like bookkeeping and processing orders. The rest of the operations are design based, like graphics and documents. We don't have a business like a kiosk where people are all over the computers all day. With deep freeze on the system though, there is no worry about anyone doing anything to the system that would corrupt it. Also, the actual drives with the OS rarely get changed or backed up, because they remain the same for the most part. All of the files that are created like documents, designs, orders and such, are saved to storage. The storage is what I back up frequently, because that's where everything is stored. I may have a false sense of security, but I always thought I was more protected than most, because all of my files are stored on a drive without any operating system. I figured there is very little that can go wrong which could corrupt my data since the drive is data only. I always have 2 backups up both the OS drive and the data storage drive. One is like a daily backup, the other is more like once a week or so update which is kept in the safe. I always verify that the backup by opening a few files on it, but I never really know for sure that everything is safe because I can't open everything! I have no clue how to start a server based system backup like you are talking about, but it sounds like a much safer backup method. A little overkill for use considering we don't do that much on the computers? Maybe, but only because I would have to hire someone to come set it up for me. Maybe it's not so hard as it sounds, but I know I don't have the time to learn how to do something like that myself. I didn't realize the backup techniques I am using are so inferior. I feel like my data is pretty safe, but I guess I can look into other options.
    I don't consider it "fun", I consider it a "requirement".
    I am a bit of a prepper, okay a lot of a prepper. I am prepared for just about anything that can come my way. I do not consider testing my preps fun either. I was just saying, I anticipate that there will be some sort of loss when I restore, based on what you're telling me.
    Disasters do have a remarkable ability to strike when you are least prepared. There is a logical reason for that. The more prepared you are, the less disastrous the event.
    Agreed, 100%. That's why we're talking about it. I was starting to think that I was over thinking it! Clearly I'm not the only one!
    Interesting. Unfortunately, the symbolic link method is pretty invasive because it requires those links to be up and functioning before the clone. A better solution would be to identify all those files, and have a launchd script that replaces the original files with either modified versions or links at system boot time.
    With deep freeze, the symlinks are re-created every time I boot, even if they are broken before shutdown. So, it's pretty safe as long as they work before I freeze the system. I also have the two backups in case something goes wrong. I'm confident the links work. And the worst thing that can go wrong if they break is that I have to re-create the broken ones. either way, the data that is linked is still on my storage drive and both of my backups. The only thing I wouldn't be able to recover would be the symbolic link itself.
    You need to think of this in terms of the file system. The "name" of a volume doesn't really mean anything. What matters is the mount point. The mount point, however, depends on a particular hardware configuration. You could control it better with some clever mounting scripts, but it sure seems like there is a much easier way to accomplish your ultimate goal.
    I guess you're saying I could get by without deep freeze, and that it complicated things. Yes, it does. I am always trying to find workarounds because of it. However, I like the fact that my computer is the same every time I turn it on no matter what someone has done to it.
    You have extensive control over your mount points.
    I will have to look into this, because if I can get the firewire clone to run with the symlinks in place, I could have a fully working system with nothing more than a restart of the computer.
    That, I don't know. Restoring a disk image that has embedded symbolic links to another drive is a fragile solution. You know what files you need to symlink, write a script that will set up the links at boot time - or at any time. Exactly what files are these? I strongly think there is an even easier solution lurking around. Why are you so concerned about retaining user data through restarts? Why are you even restarting?
    There's actually not as many as I thought. I have symlinked data and prefs from mail, ical, address book, blackberry desktop. Then, some document folders. I could cut a lot of these down by linking my entire documents folder and building my hierarchy within that, but I've built my own which is neatly organized into the 4 departments of our business. It's really not that much. The only thing is that my mail, ical and address book won't work on the clone, because they are dependent on the simlinks. Everything else is just files that I would access directly from the storage drive anyway, so no loss there!
    Wow! I made it through here! I'll review over the ideas you recommended and see if I can actually implement any of them myself. My guess is, I don't have the skills to pull them off. I'll look into it though. thanks for your time, and I will let you know what happens.

  • How do you change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to something else?

    I'd like to change the "read more ..." in the Blog page to say something more relevant to my site. How can this be done?
    I searched the forums and found an earlier response to this question, but I don't quite understand it:
    Find index.xml.gz file (open: Macintosh HD ->
    Applications -> iWeb -> Contents -> Resources -> e.g.
    English.lproj -> Templates -> Blog -> e.g. White
    Blog.webtemplate -> index.xml.gz).
    Open file and edit it in TextEdit. Replace all "read
    more..." with your own text. Delete index.xml.gz file.
    I'm a little confused by this reply. To open the index.xml.gz file within the app, do you navigate there with Terminal.app, unzip it, edit the file with Text Edit, then re-gzip it?
    Second, why do you delete index.xml.gz afterwards?
    And third, will this need to be redone each time iWeb is upgraded?
    Has anyone tried this and know if this is the correct way to change the words, or is there some other way?

    This tedious process actually edits the template xml file within the iWeb application, so that it becomes the default with the template. I haven't done this before, so I'm the wrong person to advise on this.
    I tend to like to do things that are on a simpler scale. You can always make a text box with an opaque background color that matches the blog template background. Then type something else into that text box, like "click here to see more of me" Then position this text box over the standard "read more" and link the text to the blog entry.
    The downside....you'll have to do this (at least position the text box and change the link) each time you add an entry.

    Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

  • How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?

    How can I change the Microsoft Office Click to Run from drive letter 'Q' to something else?
    We have a legacy app that used drive letter 'Q' already, now the newer machines are coming in with 'Q' preassigned to Microsoft Office Click to Run, and it is causing problems.  There has to be a way to change the drive letter assignment to some
    other letter besides 'Q' 

    Hi,
    Office that is delivered by Click-to-Run is installed on the Q drive, this cannot be changed.
    To work around this problem, uninstall the Click-to-Run version of Office and then install with the traditional MSI-based installation.
    To switch to using an MSI-based Office edition, you can learn something useful from this link below:

  • Change Ctrl+Alt+Backspace to something else

    Hi
    Is there any way to change the Ctrl+Alt+Backspace key combination in X to something else, e.g. Ctrl+Alt+Windows+Backspace?
    Note that I don't want to disable the "zapping" behavior by changing DontZap, but simply change the combination.

    This _looks_ like it, but doesn't really make a lot of sense:
    xmodmap -pke | grep BackSpace
    keycode  22 = BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server BackSpace Terminate_Server
    The first keysym is used when no modifier key is pressed in conjunction with this key, the second with Shift, the third when the Mode_switch key is used with this key and the fourth when both the Mode_switch and Shift keys are used. The last four are not used in any major X server implementation.
