Hi,
Is there an easy way to tell whether a symbolic link is pointing to a
directory or a single file?
I know you can try to CD into the symbolic linked item and parse the server
response to see if it's a directory or not. Any cleaner/simpler way to do
this?
Thanks very much.

ls -FLd /path/to/soft_link

If you see a '/' at the end of the output,
the soft link is pointed to a directory.

Thanks!
ls -L will also do, it will list the information of the linked item, rather
than the link itself.
