UNIX:  Home directory changed from one filesystem to another


Q.  My home directory has changed from /j/mickey to /l/mickey, and now my
    scripts that reference /j/mickey don't work.  Is this a permanent or
    temporary switch?

A.  Permanent, until it changes again.  Never refer to your absolute pathname
    to your home directory, as it changes whenever disk management so
    requires.  That's why the shell's tilde operator is so useful:

         ~mickey

    ...always gets you your home directory.

                                                                                                                                      (11-Apr-96/unihdcfo/WRD)
