Description of problem: Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):fedora 9 2.6.25-14 hi there take a look at this simple command !! first: [root@localhost Tools]# mv -v i686-rh73-gcc32.tgz /Rar mv: overwrite `/Rar'? y `i686-rh73-gcc32.tgz' -> `/Rar' removed `i686-rh73-gcc32.tgz' i checked .bashrc every thing is right !! so Y my files are deleted insted of being moved to the /Rar directory? secend: [root@localhost Tools]# cp INSTALL /Rar cp: overwrite `/Rar'? y and nothing happend!! Y? Actual results:deleted Expected results:move Additional info:the same is about the cp command but it do nothing !!
mv and cp are from "coreutils" (rpm -qf `which mv`) and not mythes-sk, or 4Suite. From you messages, I'd say that "/Rar" is not a directory, but a file, hence the "overwrite" warnings.
As explained in comment #1 everything works as expected. In first command you moved file i686-rh73-gcc32.tgz into file /Rar . In second command you have copied file INSTALL to the file /Rar and you replaced that file. If you want to move file to certain path, be sure that the destination path exists (is created by mkdir command). I would recommend you to read some basic linux commands howto prior to prevent another unwanted accidents. Closing NOTABUG.
