Bad idea. The shell will expand this into cp filename.extension /home/dir1 /home/dir2 ... which will effectively put the file in the last directory entry, as well as all other home directories. The solution using for in an earlier post is much cleaner. Also beware if your /home is on a separate filesystem. You will have a lost+found directory in /home.
