Hi list,
When i copy a file to another location and that file exist there already there is a promts that asks for overwriting. How can i skip the prompt
 
cp /var/named/named.run /var/named/named.save
 
I tried man cp and tried option  -f ( cp -f   ......) which works fine when I remove a file but still it asks me when i try to overwrite.
 
How can i force it to be non interactive ? I didn't see any option that allows me to do so.
 
Thanx
