Fedora Users — Re: overwriting a file

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?

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
