If you install the 'yum-security' plugin you can update by errata type from the 
CLI (e.g. yum list-sec).

From the spacewalk gui you can use system set manager to update all errata, but 
I don't know if you can specify by errata type. I know if you select an 
individual server and click on errata, you can select the type there and then 
"apply errata" on a server-by-server basis.

Subject: [Spacewalk-list] help - who to apply security patches/erratas only

Hi Spacewalk Gurus,

Can you please guide me on how to apply security patches only on a selected 
system?


1.       I see that we can select the systems and then manually select (select 
check-box) the security erratas

Is there a automatic way to select all security patches via GUI/browser or 
command-line?
Command-line, I would prefer run from spacewalk server i.e. push to client 
system method

Please advice,
Thank you in advance!
