I would like to achieve the following:

1. Access the artificact name of the next release from a state script.
2. Pause mender client.
3. Continue with the download when the user sees the new release version.

I have read about the state scripts, however I am also not sure if the script can stay in the upgrade script for an indefinite period waiting for user action.
