Confirming Potentially Serious Actions (PERMYES command)
SYSGEN is initially set with PERMYES OFF to confirm a potentially serious
action. If, for example, you made configuration changes and attempted to
exit without saving the changes, SYSGEN would warn you that you were
about to lose your changes.
You can disable or enable PERMYES to automatically accept all decisions
entered at the terminal or ask if the user wishes to change a command
that seems improper.
If PERMYES is OFF, SYSGEN prompts you for a YES/NO response whenever a
potentially serious action, such as exiting SYSGEN without saving
configuration changes, is initiated. If you respond negatively, the
action does not take place and the command is ignored. If PERMYES is ON,
you are not prompted for confirmation.
To have SYSGEN prompt you enter:
sysgen>PERMYES OFF
To avoid the prompt, enter:
sysgen>PERMYES ON
