Could you paste the contents of your starting script? Status code 127 some part of your command was not found in your PATH. Most likely, cardano-node or when you run manually, your topology file. ---

Maybe adding it as a block text in the forum would help the formatting? If I assume your newlines etc are in order, I take it your main command is: > cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB\_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET\_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate {CERT} An easy way out is probably to add the full path to cardano-node, as it seems systemd is unable to find it. In your case (if you’ve followed the coincashew guide?) that should be: > /home/xxx/.local/bin/cardano-node run _your arguments goes here_ ---

You replace the last line of your startup script. If I interpret the file correctly, it should look something like this: > DIRECTORY=/home/xxx/cardano-my-node > PORT=xxxx > HOSTADDR=0.0.0.0 > TOPOLOGY={DIRECTORY}/mainnet-topology.json DB\_PATH={DIRECTORY}/db > SOCKET\_PATH={DIRECTORY}/db/socket CONFIG={DIRECTORY}/mainnet-config.json > KES={DIRECTORY}/kes.skey VRF={DIRECTORY}/vrf.skey > CERT={DIRECTORY}/node.cert > /home/xxx/git/cardano-node run --topology {TOPOLOGY} --database-path {DB\_PATH} --socket-path {SOCKET\_PATH} --host-addr {HOSTADDR} --port {PORT} --config {CONFIG} --shelley-kes-key {KES} --shelley-vrf-key {VRF} --shelley-operational-certificate {CERT} So we’ve added the entire path to your cardano-node binary in your startup script. Can’t promise it’ll work, but it won’t hurt either 🙂 ---

I’m not sure what you mean by “resetting back to normal”? And not sure why you’re getting Yaml parsing errors when you’re inputting json… 🙂 Are you getting this error when you’re trying to run the script manually? Or when systemd is trying to run it? ---

Yeah, thats the path I gave you first. Replace the path from my example above with this path. So instead of /home/xxx/git/cardano-node you write /home/xxx/.local/bin/cardano-node [Next page](https://forum.cardano.org/t/nano-etc-systemd-system-cardano-node-service-systemctl-line-11-error/49610.md?page=2)
