Hi Alan, I appreciate the response. I'm also in a chicken / egg situation here. Spacecmd isn't able to return anything because it has an issue connecting to the spacewalk api so I am unable to list our channels. Since I'm unable to list them I cannot run that previous script. Do you have any suggestions for where to get the api running again?
