<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi list,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>cp /var/named/named.run
/var/named/named.save</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>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.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>How can i force it to be non

so.</FONT></DIV>
