And if you’re using the embedded PostgreSQL database, you could use that too:

The Berkley stuff was so fragile in out environment, was almost walked away 
from Spacewalk. Switching to SQLite fixed those.

I am looking at using spacewalk for orchestration - for instance, I

installs successfully on every server within a specific time frame.  I
have osad running on my servers so that in theory as soon as I send a
remote command from spacewalk it should run on the server, but keep
running into servers where commands don't run until I manually login
and run rhn_check.  So I'm thinking if I have rhn_check run from cron
every 15 minutes then the remote commands will always be picked up.  Is
there any downside to running rhn_check this frequently?

Please try to stop osad on the problem systems, remove the 
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad-auth file and restart osad. This might fix your problem 
that jobs are not picked up instantly.

Alternatively, see if switching jabberd on your Spacewalk server from 
BerkeleyDB to SQLite makes it more stable. Instructions are here:
