Our dbcommands.c has for create database: snprintf(buf, sizeof(buf), "cp -r '%s' '%s'", src_loc, target_dir);
but my BSD/OS manual only documents 'cp -R' and mentions: Historic versions of the cp utility had a -r option. This implementation supports that option, however, its use is strongly discouraged, as it does not correctly copy special files, symbolic links or fifo's. I think we should switch to -R in our code. -- Bruce Momjian | http://candle.pha.pa.us [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (610) 359-1001 + If your life is a hard drive, | 13 Roberts Road + Christ can be your backup. | Newtown Square, Pennsylvania 19073 ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 8: explain analyze is your friend
