[UPHPU] Bash scripting question

I've created a Bash script to copy a WordPress plugin to every
WordPress installation on our server:
http://pastebin.com/f191ee2b9
On line 13, the cp command uses the -n flag to not overwrite existing
files. I'd prefer to use the -i flag so that I'm prompted whether I
want to overwrite existing files. However, the -i flag doesn't work in
the xargs loop. It simply loops through each file and answers with the
default "no" for each prompt.
Can I make the xargs/cp loop actually ask me whether I want to
overwrite existing files?
