yea I am trying to setup a script to remove named.run.
 
I do not get it, why do i need to run unalias rm to overwrite a file ???
 
The whole idea is when i run
cp /var/named/named.run /var/named/named.saved
I am asked
cp:overwrite '/var/named/named.saved ?
 
and i just one to get rid of it.

`unalias rm`
 
Are you doing this in a script?

Subject: overwriting a file

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
