My statescript start with the following if [! -x /sbin/fw\_printenv]; then echo “printenv not found” \>&2 exit 1 fi And I get this from my log: 2024-11-01 16:29:05.988 +0000 UTC info: Running Mender client 4.0.4 2024-11-01 16:29:05.988 +0000 UTC info: Deployment with ID 486f7cc5-d445-4a22-b71e-b446167910c6 started. 2024-11-01 16:29:05.988 +0000 UTC info: Sending status update to server 2024-11-01 16:29:06.627 +0000 UTC info: Installing artifact… 2024-11-01 16:29:18.855 +0000 UTC info: Update Module output (stdout): ================ STATISTICS ================ 2024-11-01 16:29:18.855 +0000 UTC info: Update Module output (stdout): Blocks written: 0 2024-11-01 16:29:18.855 +0000 UTC info: Update Module output (stdout): Blocks omitted: 376 2024-11-01 16:29:18.855 +0000 UTC info: Update Module output (stdout): Bytes written: 0 2024-11-01 16:29:18.855 +0000 UTC info: Update Module output (stdout): ============================================ 2024-11-01 16:29:18.866 +0000 UTC info: Running State Script: /etc/mender/scripts/Download\_Leave\_10 2024-11-01 16:29:18.875 +0000 UTC info: Collected output (stderr) while running script: batterybrain\_v1.1: Running Download\_Leave\_10 2024-11-01 16:29:18.876 +0000 UTC info: Collected output (stderr) while running script: fw\_printenv not found 2024-11-01 16:29:18.876 +0000 UTC error: Received error: (NonZero exit code error: Received error code: 1) when running the State Script scripts DownloadLeave 2024-11-01 16:29:18.893 +0000 UTC info: Sending status update to server If I go into the directory /sbin the file fw\_printenv is there but if I am in home and do ls -l /sbin/fw\_printenv it returns that it cannot be found.

Hi @davidlekve, Maybe a couple more details? - is the `/sbin/fw_printenv` binary executable? What is the output of `ls -alh fw_printenv` while you are in `/sbin` - which OS is this? How did the Mender integration happen? - can you drop the output of `mount`? - does the root filesystem update work? Greetz, Josef ---

I found out the problem. It never was in sbin, the binary just worked there because then i didnt write a path in front of it… 😑 `which fw_printenv` returns `/usr/bin/fw_printenv`. A rookie mistake, but I think I was too locked in on that the binary should be in /sbin because of the [example](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender/blob/master/examples/state-scripts/retain-ssh-keys/Download_Leave_01). Sorry to bother you @TheYoctoJester Just to be sure, do you think there is any problem with changing the path to `/usr/bin/fw_printenv` or should I instead try to make the yocto project build/move the fw\_printenv file in `sbin`. I am building for the pi5. ---

Hi @davidlekve, Great thanks for pointing it out, we definitely should fix the example. Not a problem per se, but I think checking through `which` would be the best approach. Analogous example: [mender/support/modules/rootfs-image at 0fb14b44e131ab7186bb86fe486332d420821de5 · mendersoftware/mender · GitHub](https://github.com/mendersoftware/mender/blob/0fb14b44e131ab7186bb86fe486332d420821de5/support/modules/rootfs-image#L14C1-L18C3) Greetz, Josef
