[Ubuntu] bash shell soft-link error: Too many levels of symbolic links

Please see the command below:

代码

david_lee@david-desktop:/home/david_lee/test$ sudo ln -s test /usr/bin/test
david_lee@david-desktop:/home/david_lee/test $ test
bash: /usr/bin/test: Too many levels of symbolic links

That is to say i got the error: Too many levels of symbolic links.

The reason is that, when I creating the symbolic link, I only used the relative path, but not the absolute path.

The solution is to use the absolute path.

david_lee@david-desktop:/home/david_lee/test$ sudo ln -s /home/david_lee/test/test /usr/bin/test
