It's --reply=no, not --noreply=no. And this has already been discussed: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-08/msg00168.html http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2007-04/msg00055.html > > The suggested alternatives don't work: > > -i is interactive and I'm creating a non-interactive command > -f has the opposite effect: it unconditionally overwrites the > destination file > -u will conditionally overwrite the destination file > > and there is no -k to unconditionally keep the destination file. What exactly are you trying to do? rsync may be a better tool for your task, as it does have options to unconditionally keep destination files. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
