Replace symbolink links with original files

If you have ever needed to replace symbolic links with the original files, all you need to do is run this simple command:

cp -av --remove-destination `readlink esempio_file.txt` esempio_file.txt

Here is something slightly more complex to do it recursively, without changing the names, inside the directory containing the symbolic references:

for f in * ; do cp -av --remove-destination `readlink $f` $f; done
