Getting a bit peeved with the copy command prompting to overwrite files.
cp -rf ./* ./another/location/
cp: overwrite `/filename.conf’? y
The ‘-i’ interactive option is obviously aliases into the copy command on Centos (even the -f option was not overriding this for me) but a quick way of overriding the aliasing behaviour is to prefix the whole command with a backslash.
So:
cp -rf ./* ./another/location/
Becomes:
\cp -rf ./* ./another/location/
