Can't suppress prompts from the restbyinode command

Question:

Env:
  AIX 4.1.4
  Sysback 3.3.2.17

Desc:   filesystem restore from smit hangs terminal using sysback
        Sysback uses the backbyinode to create the backup and
        restbyinode to restore.  The restbyinode asked for
        set owner/mode for '.'? [ yes or no ]

Act: Discovered that restore won't suppress prompts -- this
     causes smit usage of restore to hang the terminal waiting
     on the response

restore -qxvf /dev/rmt\#  ./\

You will need to use the -S flag with restbyinode command.  

You will need at AIX 3.2.5
---------------------------
IX53710  185942 Restbyinode needs -S flag

You will need at AIX 4.1.4
---------------------------
IX53715 Restbyinode needs -S flag  "Fileset 4.1.4.1 bos.rte.archive"

sysback 3.3 is checking to see if the -S flag is a valid one
for both AIX 3.2 and AIX 4.1.  If it is a valid flag it will 
use it if not then it does not.

Next Action:
  Closing with customer approval
