forget my last comment - I was messing around with a couple of commands (tar) and have accidentally created a file called '--exclude' in the directory.
oops. :-) -----Original Message----- From: Richard Howard [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 July 2004 16:51 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: CP bug? Hi there, I'm running RHE Linux 2.4.21-4.0.1.ELsmp. I just tried to use cp with a command that it didn't recognise - I mistakenly thought there was an --exclude option: cp -Rv * ~/rbtemp --exclude 200* which then reported: cp: unrecognized option `--exclude' Try `cp --help' for more information. I then issued the command: cp -Rv * ~/rbtemp which yielded the same message (every time I issued the command). Is this a bug in cp?
