hi.. a real basic question. how can i copy a file in linux so that i ginore/don't respond to the prompt??? google/help/man pages indicate that cp without the "-i" should work. when i use: cp foo.dat foo1.dat i still get the prompt if foo1.dat exists. i simply want to do a raw/forced cp and keep going. any ideas/comments/etc... thanks -bruce -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
