That confirmation screen bit me the other Sunday...

I wondered how come the system hadn't come up an hour after I issued

I still recall when Simon had originally, humorously described his views on a confirmation ever becoming an option for that command. He almost certainly had implemented the environment variable for *SYS or changed the command default on any release the CONFIRM parameter had since been implemented and defaulted to *ENVVAR.
