When inputting the following parameters to recurse through the directories if during compression I encounter that the the .gz file already exists I would like to overwrite by forcing. gzip -r -v -1 -f G:\ Currently receive this message: "gzip" G:\: No such file or directory" If I execute gzip -r -v -1 G:\ without the -f I am prompted asking if I want to overwrite the existing file, I can respond Y and process completes. My issue is that I am executing from a scheduled batch process with no user interaction and need to force the overwrite of the file if it already exists. Any thoughts / help would be greatly appreciated.
