There is nothing there out of the ordinary - the āCommand failedā always happens because the agent is being shut down. The issue must be somewhere in the RPM functionality so its possible the RPM db has some issues on this endpoint?
Hi Thanks for your reply. Do you have any hints on what I could get the Linux guys to do? Sorry but the Linux team a separate team all together just wanted to know if there was something like ā¦ can you check xxxx in RPM
@sauk Iāve had the similar issue. My finding is that our Linux team packages the initial rpm and renames it differently. See below, when using the fixlet to update the client version mine fails the same as yours. I was trying to update a dev box from 9.5.7 to 9.5.8.

What I did was stop the BES agent and grep for the RPM:
I manually uninstalled the following RPMās as that is what they were being named and removed the client directories. I then reinstalled version 9.5.2 using the client deploy tool and then ran the fixlet to update the client version to 9.5.8. Even though the client successfully updated this time and the console shows fixed, the logs still show failed.

We faced similar issue. The log file showed only 'Command failed (Action ended while waiting for another process to complete). I understood, the other process was restart of BESClient service. However even after restart client log didn;t show any error message or details of why upgrade failed.
However, I tried manual upgrade and it through error stating there was no enough disk space in /opt/IBM/endpoint directory. We increased the space and the upgrade was went through successfully.
