By default, the rhnsd daemon on the client polls the spacewalk server every 240 minutes (see /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd) for scheduled actions. That's why you see the delay. If you want to get actions done immediately you can run rhn_check. It will query the server and runs everything immediately. If you always prefer to push everything to the clients immediately you could install osad. But I wouldn't do that if you have a lot of clients because it could mean that you are pushing out updates to a lot of clients at the exact same time causing your server to overload... -Gerald _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
