Subject: [PATCH] Check if database symlink already exists

test -L $object [object exists and is a symbolic link (same as -h)]

It is not recommended to use -h
[True if file exists and is a symbolic link. This operator is retained for compatibility with previous versions of this program. Do not rely on its existence; use -L instead.]
