Can't Create SYMLINK in /var

[DrProzac]

I'm having trouble creating a SYMLINK in /var

I can get the SYMLINK to be created however as soon as I shutdown and restart the box I loose the symlink again.

AM i doing something wrong here?

It sounds like you could be creating the link to a non-permanent object, such as something in /dev?

Just noticed that anything I put in the VAR Directory gets emptied out no matter if it's a file, symlink or a directory.

Not sure how to stop this.

The Symlinks work from other locations, so it must be somethig to do with the VAR Folder itself. :confused:

You could create a script to create it? And check it is still there and re-creeate if it is not there?

Not a bad idea.
I'll give that a go tonight maybe!!
