Hi,

I have a new file generated every day by an application. For example:

Ascii text files generated every day:

FRED1.20020527
FRED1.20020528
FRED1.20020529

FRED1 - link file which I would like to update every day
automatically such that the latest file is linked.

I want to make a link to the FRED1.xxxxx file such that the link changes to
the latest file every day. I have tried:

ln -s 'ls -1 * | tail -1' FRED1

But this doesn't update the link.

Does anyone have any idea how to do this ?

Regards,
