What OS and version are you using? What is the exact command?
On Solaris, if I run the following it does not cause me to hit return for each file.
$ cp ./dirone/*.* ./dirtwo/
If I then change it to interactive mode, I have to hit y and return for each file I want to overwrite
$ cp -i ./dirone/*.* ./dirtwo/
There are no options which would cause me to have to hit return for each file unless you mean you are doing each file individually (which means you should use a wildcard character such as * to give yourself less 'returns').

NAME
newproc.d - snoop new processes. Uses DTrace.
SYNOPSIS
newproc.d
DESCRIPTION
newproc.d is a DTrace OneLiner to snoop new processes as they are run. The argument listing is printed.

Since this uses DTrace, only users with root privileges can run this command.
EXAMPLES
This prints new processes until Ctrl-C is hit.
# newproc.d
FIELDS
CPU The CPU that recieved the event
ID A DTrace probe ID for the event
FUNCTION:NAME
The DTrace probe name for the event
remaining fields
These contains the argument listing for the new process
DOCUMENTATION
See the DTraceToolkit for further documentation under the Docs directory. The DTraceToolkit docs may include full worked examples with ver-
bose descriptions explaining the output.
EXIT
newproc.d will run forever until Ctrl-C is hit.
