Uh, that is strange.

You remember _what_ was updated?

It seems to hang in nxnode --check, which should just output:

NX> 1000 NXNODE - Version 2.1.0-70 OS (GPL)
NX> 716 finished
NX> 1001 Bye.

So that is quite strange.

Try running the command from hand.

One thing I could imagine was that nxloadconfig hangs.

To debug that run:

bash -x /usr/lib/nx/nxnode --check.

If the problem does not appear when doing that create a wrapper like:

$ cd /usr/lib/nx/
$ mv nxnode nxnode.orig
$ echo -e '#!/bin/sh\nbash -x /usr/lib/nx/nxnode.orig "$@" 2>/tmp/nxnode.log\n' > nxnode
$ chmod a+x nxnode

And check /tmp/nxnode.log to where it hangs.
