User prompt before running test or production post to OSTI #53

Closed kelynch closed 3 years ago

When Poster.py successfully runs in test or production mode, it posts a submission to an OSTI ELinks server and emails a number of people, including people at PPPL and OSTI. Nothing is posted externally and no one is contacted when the script runs in dry-run mode. This behavior is all indicated in this repo's README but not elsewhere.

Proposal: When running Poster.py, give the user a prompt (ie "Are you sure? Running in test mode will do the following...") when they run the script in a mode that will send out data submissions and emails. Consider also indicating that these actions will not take place, when the user runs the script in dry-run mode.

Very much like this idea. I can create a PR. This is a fairly straightforward of no more than a few lines of code.
