automatic overwrite with cp
I've been trying to copy the contents of a partition (source) to
another partition (destination) that has a large number
of files that need to be overwritten. The command I've tried is:
# cp -apRv source/* /destination/
The command works but it requires that I manually respond 'yes' for each
overwrite. I thought that the r or R option
would do an automatic overwrite but apparently it doesn't.
What should the option be to do automatic overwrites with the ' cp '
command?
