Hi,

I definitively can't force cp to override existing files without > asking confirmation.

According to documentation , I try :

cp -r --force src/file1 ./

but always a confirmation is asked...


What's wrong ?

      
'cp -r --reply=yes src/file1 ./'

This will work...  Check out the man pages for cp or even cp --help
    
I couldn't find any reference to 'reply' in both `cp --help` and `man
cp` here (coreutils-6.9-17.fc8). What version is yours?

Moreover:

 $ cp --reply=yes
 cp: the --reply option is deprecated; use -i or -f instead
 cp: missing file operand
 Try `cp --help' for more information.

That last advice is still pertinent, James ;-). Now, what cp does Luc have?


Regards,
