Hobbitites,

 
Is it possible to use the FILES check to check is a file exists and is a
symlink, in our architecture we use symlinks for a live/fallow setup on
some systems switching between the directories during certain tasks,
what I need to check is that a file inside the current live directory
exists and is a symlink.

 
Regards,

Mike Rowell

The obvious answer would be a FILE check with "type=symlink", but alas
that hasn't been implemented.

A completely untested patch would be the following. Let me know if it
works.
