If you don't want to unalias cp, try: cp -f foo.dat foo1.dat

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.
That's because by default, .bashrc will alias 'cp -i' to 'cp' - so you'd have to undo that before it works the way you want it to. Edit your .bashrc file and get rid of the alias.
