Maybe. I guess it depends on the options in question. I would expect, for instance, that cp's -f and -i options would override each other, rather than erroring out. If these were --mode=force and --mode=interactive, I would expect the same behavior. I suppose I could be persuaded that "--readonly --readonly" should be illegal, but it doesn't really harm anything, so my tendency is to leave it in. > http://cr.opensolaris.org/~swalker/pkg-2333-2/ Looks good to me.
