Config the external directory link unlink tool

By default, the distribution comes with a tools directory which contains the hard link unlink tool. Put it under `[your]/bin/rdpro/tools/hunlink` for MacOS. For Windows, the default location is `C:/bin/rdpro/tools/linkd.exe`.

If you want a different location different location for the unlink tools, config it through the [your]/rdpro.properties file. An example content of the property file: `pathToUnlinkDirExecutable=s:/bin/rdpro/tools/linkd.exe %s /D`

Symbolic links and Hard Links

  • On MacOs/Unix/Linux, I use the shipped hlink and hunlink under tools dir to make and remove the hard links. Symbolic or soft links can be made by 
ln -s source target_symbolic_link
So to switch to unlink suhch symbolic links, create the ~/[user]/rdpro.properties with this content: 
pathToUnlinkDirExecutable=unlink %s
  • On Windows, the linkd tool shipped under tools is used to make the hard link. while soft links can be made using
> MKLINK /D Link Target".

You have to elevate the privileged through. see https://stackoverflow.com/questions/23217460/how-to-create-soft-symbolic-link-using-java-nio-files
