File1 sym'd to file2 file2 sym'd to file3 file3

I want to remove the sym link from file2....how?

I assume you knew about the "rm" command and were wondering about how symlinks might be different. In particular, you wondered if applying rm to a symbolic link does one of these things: 1) Nothing 2) Removes the symbolic link 3) Removes the target of the symbolic link 4) Removes both the symbolic link and its target Now we already know that the answer is (2), but I submit that in a case like this, a simple concocted test would be enough to discover the behavior in question.
