Copying Running to Startup on Cisco 3548XL
I have found the "Copy Running to Startup" function executed via the button from the
Devices with Startup-Running Conflict screen rarely succeeds as intended. I am attempting to do this on a number of platforms. Each of their errors are below. ONLY the errored sections are displayed in this post.

It would appear in ALL instances, the switch is expecting a confirmation of the command in the form of some type of, "Destination filename [startup-config]?". When no "Y" or "Yes" is received, the process errors out. A full transaction log of the 2950s are included below. Not a single "copy running to startup" works on any of my Cisco switches. This function also doesn't work on Cisco Wireless Access Points or Cisco PIX/ASA firewalls.
It seems to clearly need some attention to the scripted process associated with it.
