Hello,
I'm new to the list and this thread. I apologize if this has been mentioned before.
If you are using bash you can temorarily 'unalias' a command by sticking a \ in
front of the command:
\cp
\ssh
\rm
\mv
It can be a big time saver. Another thing you can do is create a new alias that has
saftey features off:
alias cpf="/bin/cp -f";
As far as I am aware if you do a cp -p then adding a -f isn't going to work. That is
essentially what is happening. If cp sees the -p flag, it is going to prompt as a
matter of saftey. I think several other util commands do the same thing.
Good luck,
