Hi,
Whenever I use the 'cp' command for an exiting target-file, it comes back to me to confirm whether I really want to overwrite an existing file. I want to override this behaviour in one of my bash scripts. How do we do that? Specially, without setting any global environment variables? The reason I can't use (echo "y" | cp ...blah... ...blah...) is that i am issuing a recursive (cp -r) command and I can't know in advance how many files it is going to encounter.
TIA,
Shantanu
