You skipped this key question. It will be extremely difficult to help if I have no idea how you got into the state you're in now. >> 'OSAD spacewalk' in yahoo or google.

There absolutely is a link to that doc on that page. Look at the second set of links, "Administrative Documentation". It is the first link in that section: "osad and osa-dispatcher." >>From a quick skim of that document, is it the case that jabberd only needs to >>run on the server, not on the client? As the document at the link I sent you would likely reveal if you more than skimmed it :), osad service needs to run on the client, and osa-dispatcher and jabberd need to run on the server. The document does not indicate a need to install jabberd on the client. > The error logs: > Caused by: java.lang.NullPointerException > at > com.redhat.rhn.frontend.action.schedule.ScheduledActionAction.cancelActions(ScheduledActionAction.java:119) > at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) > at > sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:57) > at > sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.java:43) > at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:616) > at > org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.dispatchMethod(DispatchAction.java:270) > at > org.apache.struts.actions.DispatchAction.execute(DispatchAction.java:187) > at > org.apache.struts.actions.LookupDispatchAction.execute(LookupDispatchAction.java:150) > at org.apache.struts.action.RequestPro It's somehow ending up at a null pointer exception when you hit a button to cancel a scheduled action, it appears. Of course, without knowing the steps you followed up to this point (I am curious how you would configure push to clients without osad) it's really hard to understand why this would happen. What action did you schedule? A client update? What client? If you go to the schedule actions page for that client (i think the tab is called events or history in the system details page) you should be able to dig up an error message in the web UI? Which action did you cancel? ~m _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
