Is it possible to create a Windows shortcut file (.lnk) in Bash?
No, I'm not talking about symlinks...
I need to place some Windows shortcuts in my Samba share.

I found a couple of interesting links: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/… and ithreats.files.wordpress.com/2009/05/… . Good luck.

IIRC Cygwin includes a utility that creates Windows shortcuts without using using Windows libraries, so it should work on Linux. I don't remember what the utility is called.

Below is a link to a Linux tool which allows you to create Windows shortcuts. The source code is available in both Bash and C:

Confirmed that mslink can create a shortcut to a UNC path and directory; which is more than I can say for all the Python stuff I was looking at.
