      I tried upgrading my 1100 from 23.05.1 to 23.09.1 via the console.
      I ran into a problem where the installation stopped and I got the message:
      cannot open /etc/rc.be_functions.sh: No such file or directory

      Since I was stuck without internet access during the installation and I'll admit I have limited knowledge at the command prompt level,
      I did a quick search using my phone and saw someone suggesting using the command - Pkg-static upgrade to see if the installation would complete which it did.

      Any thoughts on why the installation stopped?

      I also wanted to look at the installation log so using the GUI command prompt I tried to download the /conf/upgrade_log.latest.txt file but this file only has the previous upgrade log from when I upgraded from 23.05 -> 23.05.1
      Any thoughts on why upgrade_log.latest.txt doesn't show the upgrade to 23.09.1?

      Looking to learn more about what I may have done incorrectly and anything I can do to get the upgare log for the failed installation.

      Thank you.

        Without the logs to check it's almost impossible to say. It's probably been overwritten. I'd guess some pkg uninstall script stopped maybe.
