senario : Copy all files from the folder which contains around 20,000 files to the folder where 10,000 same files are already exist.
Now what ? Dont worry simply fire the following command:
# unalias cp
Reason - because cp has an alias which is (alias cp='cp -i')
-i, --interactive which menas prompt before overwrite
Note: Make sure you will revert the changes once you are done with cp
also You can overwrite files without [ y/n ] prompt by using following syntax.
# /bin/cp -pafrH /home/user/source/* /home/user/destination/
