[RESOLVED] dead symlinks
« on: July 18, 2015, 04:30:25 PM »
Hello!

I don't know whether it's a hangover from older version, an installation fault or whatever. Under /etc/e-smith/events/.../services2adjust/ I've found over 170 dead symlinks. May I delete them without disadvantages? If needed, I will post a list.

Well, it depends. If completly breaking your server is not a disadvantage to you, you can go ahead and remove them ;-)
Joking aside, those "dead" symlinks are parts of SME foundations, and are used to define which service should be restarted, how and when
C'est la fin du monde !!! :lol:

They're not "dead". They are symlinks which have been re-purposed to be a key -> value database.
