[FIXED] Jupyter Notebook: how to skip the confirmation after CTRL-C?

Issue

I run Jupyter Notebook 6.2.0 like this:

jupyter notebook

If I press CTRL-C, it prompts me for confirmation to exit. I need to remove that step. I want Notebook to quit immediately (it's an automation thing, long story). I do not care about any possible side-effects (it's a disposable environment, and CTRL-C really means it's time for Jupyter to go away, no questions asked).

The -y option claims to skip all dialogs, but it does nothing when it comes to the CTRL-C prompt.

How to disable the shutdown prompt in Notebook?

Solution

Nevermind. It turns out that -y does not skip the prompt with Notebook 6.2.0, but it does skip it with 6.3.0 or later.

So the solution is to simply upgrade.
