root # ls -l /usr/bin/perl
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root system 29 Dec 01 08:29 /usr/bin/perl -> …/…/opt/SNIperl585/bin/perl
I wat to check if the link /usr/bin/perl is linked to …/…/opt/SNIperl585/bin/perl
If not run “ln -s …/…/opt/SNIperl585/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl” from the /usr/bin directory

As way of an example, here are my files:
root@linuxbox ~
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 10 Dec 8 00:05 bar/link1 -> foo/target
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 13 Dec 8 00:06 bar/link2 -> foo/badtarget
Here is what the Relevance looks like:
Q: value of symlink “/root/bar/link1” is “foo/target”
A: True
Q: value of symlink “/root/bar/link2” is “foo/target”
A: False
Also, if you are looking for other symlink operators…
Q: properties whose (it as string contains “symlink”)
A: socket file : socket file
A: fifo file : fifo file
A: device file : device file
A: name of : string
A: pathname of : string
A: location of : string
A: value of : string
A: value accessible of : boolean
A: parent folder of : folder
A: symlink : symlink
A: symlink of : symlink
A: symlink : symlink
A: file : file
A: folder : folder
A: device file : device file
A: fifo file : fifo file
A: socket file : socket file
A: symlink : symlink
A: modification time of : time
A: accessed time of : time
A: change time of : time
A: user name of : string
A: group name of : string
A: uid of : integer
A: gid of : integer
A: link count of : integer
A: symlinks of : symlink
A: ancestors of : folder
A: filesystem of : filesystem
A: drive of : filesystem

Works great… Thanks
Relevance:
Relevance expression is false value of symlink “/usr/bin/perl” contains “…/…/opt/SNIperl585/bin/perl”
Action:
// Fix Perl Link
wait sh -c “/usr/bin/rm /usr/bin/perl”
wait sh -c “/usr/bin/ln -s …/…/opt/SNIperl585/bin/perl /usr/bin/perl”

In reference to the “ln” command: you may want to make sure you are in the correct directory before running a command that has a relative path in it.
