Wouldn't it make more sense to have something like this in your shell startup file:
case `uname -s` in SunOS) alias cp='gcp -i -p' ;; *) alias cp='cp -i -p' ;; esac Problem solved, and you don't have to sniff for gnu.org in its help. That solaris even has a GNU cp... well, that is just silly, and should not be used as a reason to rename anything. -- |8] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
