I thought I remembered seeing a thread about this, but I can't find it.

I am in a situation where I need to create a symlink to a file that does not exist yet, and the file module fails with "src file does not exist".

Any way around this?

Thanks.

The shell module and just calling "ln" might be a good choice.
