I am writing a shell script (bash) for system administration.Now in
that script, I want to check whether a perticular soft
link on the system is dead or alive.
I want something like this,
if [ alive ]
then
......
else
......
fi

I just tested it and dead symlinks fail "if [ -e file ]" but pass "if [ -h file ]".

[ -e file ] worked.
