I've been admining Linux systems for 25 years, and I still have to check which one it is every time.
@monsieuricon I have a tip: you can omit the second argument, in which case the written filename is deduced from original file. So the second argument is the link. HTH?
@corsac @monsieuricon that's the logic I rely on as well
@corsac @monsieuricon I think you just have changed my professional life as a Sysadmin and now as a Site Reliability Engineer. Thanks for the tip!

@corsac @monsieuricon I actually prefer to do

```ln -s target``` without the linkname and then rename the targetname to the linkname, if at all necessary...
