I have an executable file ffmpeg in /home/juping/. If I change my working directory to /home/juping/ with the command cd /home/juping/, I can run the executable file ffmpeg by running ./ffmpeg. If I do not change the working directory, can I then still run the executable file by its full path like .//home/juping/ffmpeg? I tried but it doesn't work.
You can execute it by typing
/home/juping/ffmpeg
The ./ point to current directory.

I have my home directory in /home/tom.
In another partition I have a folder called /data/tomhome.
Basically, I copy all of my data from /data/tomhome to /home/tom
But whenever I update files in /data/tomhome, I still have to copy them to the other directory.
Another way will be to symlink all files but i don't want to make 20 symlinks.
Is there any other way for this?
Try
ln -s /home/tom /data/tomhome
Note: You should delete the directory /data/tomhome with rm -rf /data/tomhome if it exists already
