Cp command itself is an alias.
Give the command alias and you would see that cp = cp -i
So its always asking.
Oh, that's what I thought might be happening. I did 'grep -i alias
*|grep cp' within /etc but it didn't return anything. Where can I find
the alias definition so I can change it?
Someone else mentioned checking your $HOME/.bashrc (that references
/etc/bashrc on my system), but if you want the alias to work most of the
time, a trick for selectively disabling the alias is to enclose the cp
command in single quotes:
'cp' -f newfile.txt this-has-to-go.txt
