system ask user confirmation with cp -f

[YOGESH PATANKAR]

Hi
 
I am trying to copy the file through 'cp -f' command. If the same file exist on 
destination folder system ask for user confirmation. Ideally by using '-f' 
option system should overwrite the file directly.
 
Steps to reproduced
1. Create a file i.e bdlist.txt in tmp directory.
2. Create a file with same name in root directory.
3. Execute command cp -f bdlist.txt /tmp
 
Error : System ask for confirmation from user. I think with -f option it should 
overwrite directly.
 
I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2 (Tikanga)
 
Thanks & Regards
