Post #1764837

"install" vs "cp": - former sets permissions explicitly; latter inherits them - former removes any destination files and writes a new version; latter overwrites in place (could result in corruption if interrupted mid-overwrite) - neither preserve source mtime, so I guess they're equivalent there So in effect: sudo install -m 0755 script.sh /dest/binary is functionally equivalent to sudo cp script.sh /dest/binary && sudo chmod +x /dest/binary TIL!
