ffmpeg overwrite output file if exists

Question

Use the -y option to automatically overwrite [docs]:

ffmpeg -y -i input.flac output.mp3

I need to add the -y global switch before specifying the output file to accomplish this

ffmpeg -i /audio/191079007530_1_01.flac -t 51 -ss 69 -y /clips/44z274v23303t264y2z2s2s2746454t234_clip.mp3 2>&1 >> /ffmpegLogs.log

Alternatively, you can use the -n option to deny overriding the file.
