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
