No, it won't prompt you, you really need to specify a unique prefix to 
pca's -f option. The only thing pca will ask for interactively is 
username and/or password when it's instructed to do so, but only for the 
reason that people might not want to put that information into a 
configuration file or on the command line.

Martin.
