Sorry, I meant "pwd -P" and assumed that, according to pwds man page, to

Ok, this may work...

cp -f ${temp_log} console.log

No, since that directory is your cwd, you operate on ./ which wont
change by setting soft links along the path. You won't even be able to
remove that directory in the first place since the directories vnode is
locked.

console.log can still be a softlink. I don't see option for cp(1) which
allows to not following symlinks, so I'd suggest 'mv -f' instead -
rename(2) doesn't follow symlinks.
