Sounds good. Another question: in [this thread](https://hub.mender.io/t/initiate-updates-in-managed-mode/1552), I see that calling `mender -check-update` in daemon mode is supported. However, when I do so, I get the message:

```auto
ERRO[0000]: updateCheck: Failed to send 0 the mender process, pid:0 module=main

```

Any ideas? `systemctl status mender-client` says that it’s active and running.
