Warning Messages
A warning message alerts you to a possible problem and prompts you to
respond before the system continues a task. For example, before you format a
hard drive, a message will warn you that you may lose all data on the hard
drive. Warning messages usually interrupt the task and require you to respond
by typing y (yes) or n (no).
NOTE: Warning messages are generated by either the program or the operating
system. For more information, see the documentation that accompanied the
operating system or program.
Diagnostics Messages
The system diagnostic utilities produce messages from diagnostic tests run on
your system. See "Running the System Diagnostics" on page 193 for more
information about system diagnostics.
Alert Messages
Systems management software generates alert messages for your system. Alert
messages include information, status, warning, and failure messages for drive,
temperature, fan, and power conditions. For more information, see the
systems management software documentation.
