# "enabled_blades" command output shows an error or incorrect output

**Product**: Security Gateways  
**Version**: R80.40 (EOS), R81 (EOS), R81.10 (EOS), R81.20  
**Last Modified**: 2025-06-23

## Symptoms

- When you run the "`enabled_blades`" command from two SSH sessions or two SNMP monitoring systems, you receive an error or an incorrect output, for example:

```
cat: /tmp/bladesStatus/blades_list: No such file or directory

cat: /tmp/bladesStatus/blades_list: No such file or directory

cat: /tmp/bladesStatus/blades_list: No such file or directory

sed: can't read /tmp/bladesStatus/local_obj: No such file or directory
```

Example of an incorrect output for a Security Gateway that only has the Firewall blade enabled:

```
[Expert@Gaia:0]# enabled_blades

fw appi ips mon
```

## Cause

In a rare scenario, when the "`enabled_blades`" command is executed on two sessions simultaneously, the file _/tmp/bladesStatus_ is deleted.
