How about just using 'gzip -df' instead of 'gzip -d'? From the gzip
manpage:
-f --force
Force compression or decompression even if the file has
multiple
links or the corresponding file already exists, or if
the com-
pressed data is read from or written to a terminal. If
the input
data is not in a format recognized by gzip, and if the
option
--stdout is also given, copy the input data without
change to
the standard ouput: let zcat behave as cat. If -f is not
given,
and when not running in the background, gzip prompts to
verify
whether an existing file should be overwritten.
It should pass the file through whether or not it is in gzip format.
