Are you trying to copy the file to the same directory with the same name?
Besides of that, only root has write permisions in de directory /usr/lib.

oh! sorry my question is wrong

 	cp -f /usr/lib/munna/munna.txt /usr/lib/

already there is a file munna.txt in /usr/lib
while running my script the file must be copy or overwrite in /usr/lib

please tell me if there is an other way..
is there any way to give the permission to that folder..

thank you in advance

I'm not certain about what you are trying to do, either.

Can you explain it better?

Edit: sorry you posted while I was posting

Not clearly what you're trying but as earlier said, you need root permision to do that. The directory /usr/lib/munna was made by root so what's the problem to copy the file as root?
