This is probobly due to the fact that cp is an alias to 'cp -i', you can see what aliases there by typing 'alias' in your shell. $ alias alias cp='cp -i' $ cp -f foo bar /tmp cp: overwrite `/tmp/foo'? y cp: overwrite `/tmp/bar'? y $ unalias cp $ cp -f foo bar /tmp $ _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
