Yeah, see yesterday's discussion on pgsql-admin. I think the behavior
with the error return may be a BSD-ism. In any case, GNU cp does *not*
do what we want, and that accounts for a sufficiently large fraction of
machines in the field that I think it's just unsafe to suggest using
"cp -i" so prominently. There are too many people who'll just copy and
paste the first example provided, especially if the warning to test it
is buried several paragraphs later.
Yeah, I'm glad to see this go anyway. I always thought the example was
too cute by half. Using an explicit test is much nicer and more obvious.
cheers
