No. That’s not what rhnsd does. That just checks into the environment and looks for tasks that have been assigned to the client; it doesn’t automatically apply anything. You have to explicitly schedule tasks so when rhnsd connects, it runs the tasks that are waiting for it. > what do I need to do to have the client automatically update? Short of putting something in cron, not much. You might be able to create a scheduled event, or use the API to set up a task that the client will pick up. > One more question: Is it possible to have a post-update script run? You could set up a remote execution script as a wrapper that runs your yum update and then afterward have it run something else. I have often used that and applied to a group of systems under SSM in satellite. — David Rock da...@graniteweb.com _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
