What is it about these commands that if they know they are going to fail, they still ask anyway. Same for emacs' dired-do-copy etc. $ whoami jidanni $ cp file /etc/passwd cp: overwrite `/etc/passwd', overriding mode 0644? y cp: cannot create regular file `/etc/passwd': Permission denied $ mv /etc/motd /etc/passwd mv: overwrite `/etc/passwd', overriding mode 0644? y mv: cannot move `/etc/motd' to `/etc/passwd': Permission denied $ uname -ro 2.6.18-3-k7 GNU/Linux
