How to avoid "override protection 644 (yes/no)?" -ksh 88
Hi All,
I'm using Ksh 88 version.

I'm trying to remove the files using the below script .The code is working fine but i'm getting override protection 644 (yes/no)?
message for every file .. Pelase suggest
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
set -x
File_Path="/etc/home/logs"
Dest_Path="/etc/home/temp"
days=60
file_nm="xx"

find $File_Path/*$file_nm* -type f -atime +$days -exec mv {} $Dest_Path \;
echo "Deleted The Files"

Upon executing the above script I'm getting the following Message. How can i avoid this message as I need to say "y" for all the files
Code:
mv: /etc/home/temp/xx11: override protection 644 (yes/no)?

please suggest me how can I avoid that message .

Thank You

to:
Code:
find $File_Path/*$file_nm* -type f -atime +$days -exec mv -f {} $Dest_Path \;
