I have a tool. This tool extracts an executable file (called binA) and then this tool call ./binA binA file is in where is the same tool's location. I make a soft link to this tool run anywhere:

ln -s /home/user/Desktop/tool /usr/local/bin

This tool extracted successfully but can't call ./binA I tried call ln -s /home/user/Desktop/tool /usr/local/bin this tool can't extract binA file.

What is the best solution for this problem?

  • Sorry, I know difference between them but how to resolve my problem, either soft link and hard link both don't resolve this case.

    Did you make your file binA executable, so that you can run it, when you call it directly from the directory, where is is located: ./binA ? In that case a symbolic link to it should also make it run. An alternative is to move the file binA to a directory in PATH, for example /usr/local/bin
