Hmm..I think I would run a remote command on all clients to do an "upgrade" with "download only" option. That prefixed with a sleep $RANDOM for example so the packages get staged on the clients and all not running at the same time. Then schedule upgrade of all hosts via spacewalk or - again - run remote command to upgrade now. If no new packages have been added to the channels, the clients might only refresh the channel metadata and the rest should run "offline" Robert >Thanks a lot, >Guy -- sent from my mobile device _______________________________________________ Spacewalk-list mailing list Spacewalk-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-list
