It would be nice to have a way to issue offline orders to minions so they could check in when they come online (via XMLRPC) and then see if they have any orders.

This is the other mode of communication we would like to support in order to enable Func to replace OSAD in Spacewalk.

For example, "this node should yum update the next time I see it" is different from "this node should update now if it's online".

Anyone have any thoughts on implementations?

To elaborate, basically with what we have here and also the new cobbler "config file templating" feature, we have the makings of a much easier to understand config management tool, all in Python, and all very easy to understand. This could be the beginings of "RRS" (remote rocket surgery) built on Cobbler+Func. (See also recent Cobbler integration).

We just need a way to address offline nodes, basically.
