Well if it's not done that way then it's possible I intended to do it that way and just forgot. The only time I used readlink in scripts is when I need to create a relative path from a to b (or, when I need an absolute path).

Finally, it looks like we need absolute path because we change the directory. So after changing directory, the eventual relative paths would no longer be valid. I still don't know if it is possible to handle this situation without using readlink -f.
