Im trying to rename a few files with the .dist extension.
Im trying ->
hivemind# find . -name '*.dist' -exec cp {} `basename {} .dist` \;
And Im getting ->
cp: ./html.php.dist and ./html.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./horde.php.dist and ./horde.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./motd.php.dist and ./motd.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./mime_mapping.php.dist and ./mime_mapping.php.dist are identical
(not copied).
cp: ./prefs.php.dist and ./prefs.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./registry.php.dist and ./registry.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./lang.php.dist and ./lang.php.dist are identical (not copied).
cp: ./mime_drivers.php.dist and ./mime_drivers.php.dist are identical
(not copied).
What is wrong with the command that I issued.
Thanks
