For all three ports ligo-gracedb, ligo-lars, ligo-lvalert, why do this -- why turn off the portgroup's automatic linking and then do linking yourself?

If you must do linking yourself, why use the "system" procedure to launch the ln program? Why not use the built-in ln procedure?

Why make hardlinks instead of symlinks?
