To create a symbolic link, use the 'ln' command. If, for example, I wanted to link the file /usr/sbin/mycommand to a symbolic link file in my directory called 'my', the command would be:
ln -s /usr/sbin/mycommand my
Where the -s indicates a symbolic (as opposed to a hard link), and the next field is the target, followed by the link or alias.
If it is a symbolic link you will see a sequence similar to -> that points to the real file from the link.

A hard link is an actual physical entity representing the link. i.e.--data file on a server.A symbolic link is a pointer to a physical entity. The purpose of a symbolic link is, if the object moves, the symbolic link is coded so no matter where the object physically resides, the database can find it. It requires less administration not having to update locations in files pointing to files that have moved. Symbolic links function similar to the short-cuts in a DOS based operating systemAnswerIn Unix and Unix-like systems, a hard link is a directory entry (filename) that points to the file itself. The operating system keeps track of how many hard links point to a file, so when the last hard link to a file is removed, the file is deleted. A symbolic link is a special file that only contains a filename. The file that a symbolic link refers to may not necessarily exist at any given time.
