#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.
