Major win for simplicity! But consider "cp -ax [foo] [bar]". The "a" accomplishes everything "r" does, while avoiding dereferencing symlinks, and preserving ownership, permissions, and time stamps. The "x" avoids accidentally crossing filesystem boundaries, which can be A Very Bad Thing, if, say, copying the root FS. (Trying to copy /proc/kcore will ruin your whole day.) _______________________________________________ vox-tech mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech
