-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Darren DeHaven on 3/27/2008 3:33 PM: | I need the deprecated mv and cp command parameter "--reply=" to stay.
But since bash does not implement mv or cp, you've complained to the wrong list. This decision has been rehashed a number of times on the bug-coreutils list, you may want to search the archives for more rationale why the change was made (hint: the --reply options did not always work intuitively - they only took effect IF the command was going to prompt in the first place, and the POSIX rules for when to prompt are pretty hairy). ~ At any rate, I suggest looking into rsync, which can do exactly what you want and more. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
