[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #44814] which and run fail on windows for new files

[Mike Miller]

Follow-up Comment #3, bug #44814 (project octave):

Windows has symlinks?!? :)

Seriously I did not know that.

See "help stat", especially the comparison between stat and lstat. The stat
function is supposed to follow the symlink, report the details of the target
of the symlink, *not* the symlink itself. The lstat function is supposed to
return details for the symlink. It sounds like stat is not following the
symlink on your setup.
