Note that in this specific case, the "program being called" is just an
invocation of whatever is defined as COPY_PATH.  So unless you have an
unusual way of copying files and have changed userdefs.h accordingly,
it's just "cp" (or "/your/path/to/bin/cp").  No response to enter, and
no writing to the terminal if everything goes right.

A possible "unusual way of copying files" might be having a script that
does the equivalent of "cp -i" (asking for confirmation before overwriting
a file) - in that case your point would apply.
