sorry! actually ,i write wrong!!!
i use 'ln'  command as follow:
touch a   <-establish a new file
ln -s a this <-"this" is a directory and it's in current directory
cat this/a  <-reveal the link file
cat: a: the layer of link is too much

i describe the problem as possible as i can! and i hope you can give me help
it's my honour to send the message to you!!
thanks!
