$ mv /etc/motd /etc/lilo.conf
mv: overwrite `/etc/lilo.conf', overriding mode 0644? y
mv: cannot move `/etc/motd' to `/etc/lilo.conf': Permission denied

I would skip the first message, as isn't there no point in asking, as
it is bound to fail. No?  Yes, one could use mv -f.

cp doesn't have the message. Ah ha! See?

mv (GNU coreutils) 5.97
