Moved this to a separate topic.

Which `mender-artifact` version are you using?

Did a quick test run using the latest version,

```auto
$ mender-artifact -version
mender-artifact version 3.0.0

```

```auto
$ mender-artifact cat artifact.mender:/etc/rc.local
#!/bin/sh -e
#
# rc.local
#
# This script is executed at the end of each multiuser runlevel.
# Make sure that the script will "exit 0" on success or any other
# value on error.
#
# In order to enable or disable this script just change the execution
# bits.
#
# By default this script does nothing.

exit 0

```

And I can not see any problems. How do you create the Mender Artifact?

Thank you mirzak.

It was my fault, I used the prebuilt mender-artifact, it is on version 2.4.X.

I got it to work, by following the instruction on this documentation site:  
“Compiling mender-artifact”  
[https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/modifying-a-mender-artifact](https://docs.mender.io/2.0/artifacts/modifying-a-mender-artifact)

We do also have a pre-built mender-artifact version 3.0.0, and it can be found [here](https://d1b0l86ne08fsf.cloudfront.net/mender-artifact/3.0.0/mender-artifact),
