when I do a ln -s /the/file /to/file

is there away that I can find out /the/file by running a command on the new ln to/file??

Sure (if I understood okay):

Code:

ls -l

that's (small L)s -(small L)

If you have set a color scheme on default you get a turqoise link name and a little arrow to the /to/file.

Yeah, you can see the path of the link if you do a:

ls -al <name/path to file>
