chgrp: Change the owner group of a symbolic link.
$ chgrp -h ${group} ${path-to-symlink}
try on your machine
The command "chgrp -h ${group} ${path-to-symlink}" is used to change the group ownership of a symbolic link file in Linux or Unix-based systems.
Here's the breakdown of the command:
- "chgrp" is the command to change the group ownership.
- "-h" is an option that only affects symbolic links themselves rather than the files they point to. It allows changing the group ownership of a symbolic link itself, rather than following the link and changing ownership of the target file.
- "${group}" is a placeholder for the desired group to which you want to change the ownership. You need to replace "${group}" with the actual group name or the group identifier.
- "${path-to-symlink}" is a placeholder for the path to the symbolic link file whose group ownership you want to change. You need to replace "${path-to-symlink}" with the actual file path.
By using this command, you can associate the desired group ownership with a symbolic link file, allowing you to manage permissions and access control for that specific link.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
