Thanks. Is the shell created by bash -i -c interactive or non-interactive? Also see the example bash -c -i "cp .file1 file2" and bash -c "cp .file1 file2" in unix.stackexchange.com/a/276611/674

The difference is a result of the fact that bash seems to read $ENV in case it is called with the -i option. Inside the $ENV file, there seem to be alias definitions for cp that replace cp by something like cp -i. BTW: there is currently a discussion whether POSIX should forbid aliases to be turned on in scripts with POSIX issue 8 that will start it's development around autumn 2016.
