[SOLVED] file exists, file does not exist...

I created the link, it told me it didn't exist.
So, I tried it a second time...
Confirmation that it's there, followed by being told it's not there...
Code: [Select]
# ln -s /etc/runit/sv/tor/run /run/runit/service
# sv start tor
fail: tor: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
# ln -s /etc/runit/sv/tor/run /run/runit/service
ln: failed to create symbolic link '/run/runit/service/run': File exists
# sv start tor
fail: tor: unable to change to service directory: file does not exist
#
lolwut?

I dunno what to do. It worked just fine on a few other machines. But, this one...

It's just being a jerk for no reason. Fake error. Refusing to obey.

You are targeting the wrong path in your link, the good command is
Code: [Select]
ln -s /etc/runit/sv/tor /run/runit/service
