title: How do I move/copy a symlink to a different folder as a symlink under Solaris?
body: <p>It is an odd behaviour seen only on Solaris that when I try to copy a symbolic link with the "<code>cp -R -P</code>" command to some other folder with a different name, it copies the entire directory/file it's pointing to.</p>
  
  <p>For example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>link -&gt; dir
  
  cp -R -P link folder/new_link
  </code></pre>
