How can I find all of the symbolic links on a unix/linux system?

Use with some caution. It will take a while. | |||

Unless you know the environment, never run "find /", run e.g. "find / /var /home -xdev". Parse the mount or df output for the list of filesystems. Otherwise NFS mounts could make your find take a VERY long time. In a reasonable environment, days or weeks is very possible. I've seen more than one reasonable system on which a "find /" could not be expected to complete. Beware of "-fstype nfs -prune". In addition to requiring an ugly (complicated and error-prone) find command, you'll end up with surprises from things like cifs. | |||
