Hello Gurus

I am working on ios\_command module. This modules facilitates in execute commands on Cisco IOS devices.

While running ‘reload’ command it is prompting for 2 inputs,

“System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]” ----\> yes  
"Proceed with reload? [confirm] ----\> return character here

I tried using prompts, but looks like it does not support providing answers for 2 questions in 1 command. Tried expect module (could not get this working)

Any suggestions?

My code snippet:

`  
ios\_command:  
commands:

- command: ‘reload’  
prompt:
- “System configuration has been modified. Save? [yes/no]”
- "Proceed with reload? [confirm]  
answer:
- “\r”
- ‘yes’

`

I think the only thing missing from @Phil’s answer is check\_all: True
