#2154: Cactus: suppress interaction when using mv in make files

 Reporter:  Roland Haas          |       Type:  defect
   Status:  new                  |   Priority:  minor
Milestone:                       |  Component:  Cactus
  Version:  development version  |   Keywords:

 POSIX requires
 (http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/mv.html) that
 mv "hall write a prompt to standard error and read a line from standard
 input. If the response is not affirmative, mv shall do nothing more with
 the current source_file and go on to any remaining source_files." which is
 annoying if the operation is something like "mv foo.tmp foo".

 Worse, some centers make "mv" behave as "mv -i" ie it asks about every
 single overwrite unless -f is also given.
