Git Commit: 8f2416a89a3def6ec2c749d5afafbf2c9a18e3c8
Architecture: amd64

Error:

flag provided but not defined: -identification

My .sh file

geth --identification "miner1" --networkid 42 --mine --minerthreads 2 --datadir "~/RPI/miner1" --nodiscover --rpc --rpcport "8042" --port "30303" --rpccorsdomain "*" --nat "any" --rpcapi db,eth,web,web3,private,miner,admin,txpool,debug,personal,net --allow-insecure-unlock --unlock 0 --password ~/RPI/password.sec --ipcpath "~/.ethereum/geth.ipc"

Even if I remove identification the error changes to:

flag provided but not defined: -networkid

Answer found!

So each version of geth has some slightly different commands. For example rpc is now http.

I strongly recommend using geth help, as it will provide you with the list of all the commands that you may need for the version installed. Then you can check what you need and which command needs replacement.
