"localmirror" is just a directory in /var/www/cobbler that "cobbler sync" does not erase for historical (read: backward compatibility) reasons. Tracking works by logging events when $kickstart_start and $kickstart_done are reached in the %pre and %post of the kickstart file, each of which ultimately generates a log entry via a trigger that "cobbler status" reads to determine tracking information. Further logging goes into /var/log/cobbler/ from remote syslog on distributions that support it (RHEL 5 does not, IIRC) which can provide other information. > > Thanks, > > Chris > _______________________________________________ > cobbler mailing list > [email protected] > https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler > _______________________________________________ cobbler mailing list [email protected] https://fedorahosted.org/mailman/listinfo/cobbler
