softlink flashing in red!?

[Bruce Jin]

I wrote a script called test in /etc/init.d. and I made a link by using
# ln –s test /etc/rc3.d S99test
when I display the contents in /etc/rc3.d, my link S99test is flashing in red! Other links are all in green. What’s going on?
Thanks.

Found out red means broken link. I should have used this command:
# ln –s /etc/init.d/test /etc/rc3.d S99test

Indeed, busted symlink. The flashing red is a good eyecatcher for spotting problems with symlinks.
