cp problem should works like xcopy.
Actually i want to copy some file locations to another. so if directory not exist it should create that.
i used cp -R/r but it copies only one directory. it doesnt make directory inside directory..
so i want this should create them automatically.
One more thing if file already exist there then it should not prompt to overwrite...
I just tried cp -f but its not working. means file still prompting for overwrite.
i want it just overwrite not ask me...
Please suggest me right one.
Thanks

SHOREWALL6-VARDIR(5) [FIXME: manual] SHOREWALL6-VARDIR(5)
NAME
vardir - Shorewall6 file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shorewall6/vardir
DESCRIPTION
This file does not exist by default. You may create the file if you want to change the directory used by Shorewall6 to store state
information, including compiled firewall scripts. By default, the directory used is /var/lib/shorewall6/.
The file contains a single variable assignment:
VARDIR=directory
where directory is the name of a directory. If you add this file, you should copy the files from /var/lib/shorewall6 to the new directory
before performing a shorewall6 restart.
EXAMPLE
VARDIR=/root/shorewall6
FILES
