Quite possibly

But my point was a different one, namely not to execute the mv command twice. (If it was for a file, it would have overwritten the original amazon file on the second invocation. Since it's a directory, it would move the current directory as a subdirectory into the original on second invocation. And neither of that is really what you want

Oh, I just realized that the ln -sf probably also only works on files, so I guess a correct way is this:

Code:

mntroot rw
mkdir /mnt/us/screensaver
if [ -d /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_ ]; then
    mntroot ro
    exit
fi
mv /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800 /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800_
ln -s /mnt/us/screensaver /opt/amazon/screen_saver/600x800
mntroot ro

or so.
