I just want to say this is very frustrating. I fix one thing with Mender and then another thing breaks, sort of like wack-a-mole arcade game.

Any ideas how I can fix it. I’m obviously going to edit the command file and remove --quiet but come on, easy fixes never work in programming…

Okay, my startup script looks bad:

> wget -O- [https://get.mender.io](https://get.mender.io) | sudo bash -s – --demo --commercial --jwt-token $JWT\_TOKEN – --quiet --device-type “raspberrypi0” --demo --server-url [https://hosted.mender.io](https://hosted.mender.io) --server-cert=“”

I think it’s from cellular connectivity issue…
