You can't have a flag without connecting to your Satellite server, because the list of Channels (== repos) that your client is connected to is maintained on the Satellite Server. The easiest way I know of getting that info from the Satellite is to run Yum, although you could conceivably pick apart the RHN Yum plugin and find out how to do the query directly. The RHN plugin /usr/lib/yum-plugins/rhnplugin.py does this: rhnChannel.getChannelDetails() Which is imported from /usr/share/rhn/up2date_client/rhnChannel.py ... which could take a while to get to grips with ... Alternatively, you could script it with the RHN XML-RPC api: https://rhn.redhat.com/rhn/apidoc/channel/ChannelHandler.jsp -- Sam _______________________________________________ rhelv5-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/rhelv5-list
