Create a shadow Applications folder with lndir
Authored by: GaelicWizard on Dec 16, '03 03:38:39AM
Nice thing is - as opposed to making links with ln - these links look and feel Mac. They have proper icons and are double-clickable.
It is very kool, and mac like, but if you read the man page it states that:
The lndir program makes a shadow copy todir of a directory tree fromdir, except that the shadow is not populated with real files but instead with symbolic links pointing at the real files in the fromdir directory tree.
So it is actually *exactly* like what you get with ln -s since that is what it does. :-)
