Turning off cp (copy) command's interactive mode (cp : overwrite ?)

Solution 1:

Execute:

alias cp

To see if cp has been aliased to cp -i

In that case run:

\cp -r /usr/share/drupal-update/* /usr/share/drupal 

to ignore the alias

Solution 2:

cp -f will not ask for confirmation (that's force) So do

cp -fr /usr/share/drupal-update/* /usr/share/drupal
