unix - appening recursive command for a Linux STDIN -
when moving / copying contents 1 folder another. asked if want overwrite files sharing identical names. in example:
[root@public/]# sudo mv * /var/www/public/html/ for example, if public has 100 files exist in html ask if want overwrite each file name 100 time. there way append y command?
i linux newbie. know can stdin, stdout , stderr. though append doing < "echo y"; ain't working.
basically can use program yes such purposes:
yes | mv ... yes called without arguments repeats string "y" forever if pass argument ouput argument. leads nice call
yes no | program which can used repeatedly "no" :)
however, in case mv has option -f wich suppress questions , enforce actions. use care questions meant prevent data loss.
