Hi matson-itops,

Thanks in Advance,

Hi check the file permisions of upgrade script and set execution perm

Thanks @DonForigua, that's a good tip:
Do you have noexec set on /tmp?
You should be able to do this instead of using /tmp if that's the case:

thanks for the advice. yes, it was noexec on /tmp on RHEL8

Hi,

Sounds like you got it resolved. Did you need anything else or shall close this thread?
