Hi everyone,

I’m using mender client version eef7471 to perform system updates on Nvidia Jetson TX2.

I tried to use the option –log-file but is not working for me. I mean the log file was not created.

Here is the version of mender client I used.

root@jetson-tx2:~# mender --help
NAME:
mender - manage and start the Mender client.

USAGE:
[global options] command [command options] [arguments...]

VERSION:
eef7471  runtime: go1.12.9

Here the command line I used.

root@jetson-tx2:~# mender install /mnt/ssd/core-image-base-jetson-tx2-20200713105842.mender --log-level debug --log-file /tmp/my_mender_install.log

The --log-file argument needs to come before install.
