Note even though this script uses the published XML RPC APIs for spacewalk to do it this is not considered a supported operation at this time. but its worked well for me and i hope it works for you. by the way it has an embedded man file that can be extracted using the pod2text or pod2man tools. let me know if it helps you On Tue, May 1, 2012 at 6:32 PM, Musayev, Ilya <[email protected]> wrote: > I created several activation keys with “spacewalk default” as an option for > a channel.
