If I run cp as follows: # cp -Rup source destination
Why would it prompt me for overwrites since the -u is part of the argument?
-u, --update
copy only when the SOURCE file is newer than the destination file
or when the destination file is missing
I don't really want prompting to occur and just update files that don't exist
or is newer. I also tried:
# cp -Rupf source destination
And I was still prompted for yes and no for overwriting.
