That's excellent information, thank's for taking the time Matt.

You may be able to achieve this using the Configuration Channel ranks under Activation Keys.. but this will only work when you are first registering the client to Spacewalk.. once it is registered I don't think you can achieve what you are trying to do using Configuration Channels.. this sounds more like a job for Puppet.. you could however put a script that does what you need as a configuration file, and use Remote Actions to run it on the selected clients.

I use the API heavily for these kinds of tasks.. there is a great little python script out there on Github for scheduling remote actions on clients. Basically all you have to do is create the script you want to run on a client, and pipe it to this python script:

    Hi Folks,

    Is there a way to make one configuration management channel change
    dependant on another.

    In this case, I have two steps.

    Create a new directory on the client
    Create a new file on the client within the new directory

    I want to make sure the 1st step happens before the 2nd, so the
    2nd step does not fail, is it possible?

    Thanks,
    Stu
