Re: QSH cp command help

Vernon,

I found the cp help - thanks.
Can you help me with the 2nd problem.
When running the script from native
QSH CMD('script.sh')
the command "cp -i file1 file2"
in the script does not wait for input.

Thanks,

Zvi

QShell utilities are not like iSeries commands, as
you know, they are 
like Unix commands. Those have very little help with
them - and 
QShell has none of the man entries for the commands.
All the real 
documentation is in a PDF you can download from
InfoCenter - or at 
InfoCenter itself.

Many of the commands display a usage prompt - it
seems at times that 
the -h option causes this, but in this case, it
turns out that that 
is a real option. The prompt is displayed when there
is an error, 
say, perhaps not having enough parameters. Of
course, that is not 
helpful enough. Just one of the reasons to
appreciate the command 
help of the iSeries.

www.iseries.ibm.com/infocenter will get you started.

QSH cp questions:
1. How can I find help of the cp
   command in QSHELL?
   I like to copy file only when it
   is newer than the target.
2. I like to use also "cp -i..." (interactive) to
prompt the user.
   But if I put the commands in a script file,
   and use QSH CMD('script.sh'),
   it does not stop for the answer
   of the user, but proceeds to the next command

line.

Thanks,

Zvi
