Robert, Thanks for the input, but I’ve already looked at rhnsd, and the interval variable is set. I’ve even tried adjusting it, but rhn_check isn’t even starting, so it makes no difference.

Carefully examine it before you open any links or attachments. -------------------------- Hi Jason, The check-in interval is controlled by the INTERVAL variable in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd. By default, I believe it is set to INTERVAL=240 (4 hrs). Have you checked this value on the affected clients to determine if it is behaving as configured? I believe rhnsd will -not- check in at reboot, unless you configure it to do so (rhn_check in crontab, etc.). It will check in at rhnsd_start_time + interval. This is the behavior I have observed with 2.8. Hope this helps. From: spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com <spacewalk-list-boun...@redhat.com> On Behalf Of Jason W. Lewis Sent: Wednesday, July 18, 2018 4:36 PM To: spacewalk-list@redhat.com Subject: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk 2.8 clients not checking in Hi All, I just upgraded to 2.8 (server and some clients) and now the clients that have been upgraded aren’t checking in anymore. I’ve tried restarting the rhnsd service, even rebooted the system, and still nothing. I’ve looked at /var/log/up2date, and there’s no activity since the time rhnsd was last started. It looks like rhn_check just isn’t getting run. I ran it manually and the system checked in and picked up the chain I had waiting for it. Is anyone familiar with this enough to provide a solution, or at least know enough to help me get started troubleshooting this? Thank you, -- Jason Lewis Senior Systems Engineer @Micro Electronics, Inc. P: 614.777.2728 | M: jwle...@microcenter.com<mailto:jwle...@microcenter.com>
