State scripts not executing

[FAE]

Hello,

I have in my /etc/mender/scripts two scripts, Idle_Enter_10_copy and ArtifactReboot_Leave_10_copy but only the Idle_Enter gets executed.

In the documentation i read:

There are two types of the state scripts: root file system and Artifact. The root file systems scripts are stored as a part of the current root file system. The default location for those scripts is /etc/mender/scripts. The Artifact scripts are part of the Artifact and are delivered to the Client inside the Artifact. All the Artifact scripts are prefixed with Artifact.

Artifact scripts must be treated differently?

Thank you

That’s correct.  The artifact script is delivered as part of the OTA update and executed at the time of the update; it is never stored in the target root filesystem. You inject them into the artifact using the mender-artifact command.

Hello,

How do you inject them?

I'm using this command to create .mender file:

./mender-artifact write rootfs-image -t artik-a710 -n initial -u rootfs.raw -o artifact.mender

There is a "-s" argument to the "rootfs-image" image you are using to inject state scripts,
