Symlinks and orphaned links

'dircolors -p' defines orphaned links as symlinks that direct to nonexistent files.
it also defines the color of orphaned links as bold-red.
i'm exploring the colors output by the 'ls' command, so I ran an experiment.
experiment:
'cd leopard/tree/experiments'
'touch testlink'
'ln -s testlink testorphan'
'ls'
at this point, testlink displays as grey (normal file) and testorphan displays bold-cyan (symbolic link)
'rm testlink'
'ls'
testorphan no longer directs to an existing file, since I removed the file it directs to.
testorphan should display as red, as defined by the dircolors database.
but, when I list the files in directory 'experiments', testorphan still displays in cyan, indicating it directs to an existent file.
thoughts?
Also, colors won't display for .audio or .image files, they both display grey instead of normal-cyan and normal-magenta as defined in the dircolors database.

MrElendig directed me to a man page I was unaware of.
Still working on solving the problem, but it appears the default colors are undefined for these particular instances, contrary to what was printed in the dircolors database.

  • /http//... links in CS4 orphaned links report

    I ran link checker on a site I am cleaning up in Dreamweaver. 
    The orphaned file report shows many strange "what appear to be links" and not files.
    Below are some examples:
    /http//ima.google.com.sg/imgres
    /http//search.aol.com/aol/search
    /http//play-mp3.com
    also returned are the following which are paths(?) to pages that have been deleted from the site:
    /http//spatialgraphics.com/travel.htm
    /http//spatialgraphics.com/skh.htm
    It's all very weird stuff, and I was wondering if anyone knows what this stuff is and where it's coming from?
    Thsanks so much!

    I found the answer -- well, sort of. I don't know how or why the links got there in the first place but I found through another post [http://forums.adobe.com/message/379973#379973] that all you need to do is:
    run orphaned links
    delete the unwanted http links
    Run "Recreate Site Cache" [Site/Advanced/Recreate Site Cache]
    run orphaned links again and they should be gone. 
    Of course by doing step #2, you may have deleted important information on the page.  What you deleted was server scripting to write in those links dynamically.  Deleting links directly from this orphan link report is EXTREMELY DANGEROUS and should only be done if you completely understand how those links got there and why they are on your page.

  • Why text and button links on a PDF do not work in the iPad

    I have Acrobat Pro 9.2.3 and InDesign CS5.
    I've tried creating both button and text links directly from InDesign (Window > Interactive > Hyperlinks). I then export the multi-page PDF with "Acrobat 6 and Above" selected as well as the "Hyperlinks" and "Interactive Elements" checked. When I open the PDF in my iPad, none of the text or button links work.
    Then . . .
    I tried opening the same multi-page PDF in Acrobat Pro, and manually created the link boxes (Tools > Advanced Editing > Link Tool). The iPad still can't interprete these two interactive elements.
    Any clues what I'm doing wrong?

    Try exporting as ePub - now test inside Digital Editions and if OK - drag the file into iTunes and synch to iPhone/iPad.
    It's probably a Preview issue as mentioned but exporting to ePub is good fun!

  • How to display URL images and URL link (html) from Smartforms?

    Hi Gurus,
    I'm having difficulty on how to display targeted URL images and URL link from the smartforms, after i sending it out as html mail. The mail i sent just can be preview as a plain text, which can't execute the html code that i put inside the smartforms itself. I follow a few step from this very useful blog.. Hopefully, you guys can give me some solutions or ideas on this.

    1- put your images in a directory under the web app directory. Example: app/images/
    2- in your jsp, use: String file = application.getRealPath("/images/"); to get the images directory. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/sdk_1.3/techdocs/api/javax/servlet/ServletContext.html#getRealPath(java.lang.String)
    3- it's not the right forum to post this kind of question. Post them in the JSP/Servlet JSTL forum instead

  • In FF 34.0.5 I use to be able to click on a link within an e-mail and the link would open in a new tab; it now opens in the same tab; how can i change it back?

    I'm using FF 34.0.5 (I like it). I use to be able to right click on a link, within an e-mail, and the link would open in a new tab. Now when I click on the link it opens in the same tab replacing my e-mail.
    Example - a friend sends me an e-mail containing a link to a web site he thinks I'd like. I click on the link and go to the web site and then go back to the e-mail tab and reply to him. Now, when clicking that link, my e-mail disappears and is replaced by the new site.
    How can I fix this? When this happened once before I was told to change the 'value' for a specific 'preference name' through the about:config page.
    Can anyone help jog my memory?
    Thanks!

    Is this about clicking a link in an external program?
    You can check this pref on the about:config page for external links.
    * browser.link.open_newwindow.override.external (-1)
    If this pref has the default value -1 then browser.link.open_newwindow is used.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.link.open_newwindow
    *1: current tab; 2:new window; 3:new tab;
    You can open the <b>about:config</b> page via the location/address bar.
    You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

  • Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL..

    Using firefox 14.0.1. Loading a link using right-click and "Open Link In New Window", results in new window opening but address bar does not show URL. However, if I right click on a link and select "Open Link In New Tab", the Tab shows URL in address bar. So it's working when it's a New Tab but not a New Window.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • How to remove connect and workbook link after pressing Save as,Print,Export

    I have to remove the connect link and workbook link which appear AFTER pressing Save as,Printable Page,Export in a discoverer viewer report. I had already removed the link in the report itself with changing the uix files, but after pushing the link for export, save as or print the link Connect and Workbook still appear.
    I know that I have to change something in UIX Files, but which one and what I have to change...? Have anyone an idea? Thanx for fast reply, it´s a urgent problem.
    in addition: In metalink,otn and google were no solution...

    If the tone really is a single (or at least narrow band) frequency like the picture shows, I'd try the Notch Filter on the Audition/Effects/Filter and EQ menu.  It might take some playing around to get the exact frequency and tweak the amount of cut you apply vs. the effect it will have on surrounding frequencies--but if you can get the right balance, you can then easily apply this to the whole of every file.
    Sorry, can't help on the Premiere Pro question since I only use Audition.

    Firefox sent an email to me to confirm that I had asked the above question. The email had a link to click. When I clicked it from Firefox, nothing happened. Then I opened IE, signed into Comcast, opened the email, clicked the link, and it brought me here.

    You can check your Junk/Spam folders, sometimes the e-mail gets sent there. Also, double check that the primary e-mail address in your Apple ID account is hers. If none of this works, I suggest to wait it out, sometimes it can take up to 24 hours!

  • Facebook and other links

    How do I include Facebook and website links on my feedback form?

    Hi;
    You can insert a link into your form using the "link" feature, there is a link button on the toolbar to insert a link:
    If however you are asking about the "Social", "Like" buttons like many web sites have - that is not something FormsCentral includes/supports, but you can use the "Link" feature above for adding links of your own.
    Thanks,
    Josh

  • SharePoint 2013 - Site Settings - Users and permissions - "Access Request and invitations" link missing

    I am site collection administrator and have configured the outgoing email in Central administration but "Access Request and invitations" link  is missing, pl advice any additional configurations for this link to show up
    I was though able to configure access requests by going to Site Settings->Users and permission and on the ribbon selected "Access Request Settings"
    What is the difference in either of the approaches?
    Thanks
    Abhishek

    Hi there,
    I noticed this post, and didnt really find an appropriate solution to your issue. I noticed the same issue when dealing with Access Requests. First of all to make sure that the Request feature is enabled, you need to access 
    Site Settings -> Site Permissions -> Access Request Settings -> Make sure the
    'Allow access requests' option is enabled.
    The Allow access screen just allows you to enable the feature and also to specify a email address that notifications are sent to. Whereas the 'Access Requests and Invitations' section provides a screen to manage Access Requests and request history.
    I noticed then that the Access Requests and Invitations link under 'User and Permissions' didnt actually appear until someone actually requests to join the site. It seems that this is needed to display the screen. Once actioned once, the option stays there.
    Hope it helps
