Thanks, I think the cronjob will work for the dead osad problem, and my idle
fix will keep them from going into the phantom connection state.  So far
our deployment has been only a few hundred servers with Satellite, I just worry
about this solutions scalability.  Even 2-3,000 servers constantly
re-connecting every 10 minutes when the idle timeout hits or the cronjob
restarts the service seems like a bad idea.<br>

I was able to resolve some similar issues the other day and will update the

<br>
<br>
I also have a cronjob on all my clients that restarts osad and runs rhn_check
roughly every 4 hours randomly.<br>
<br>
I also have rhnsd disabled on the clients.<br>
<br>
It's a lotta crap, but it has been working flawlessly for several weeks.<br>
Scheduled actions get picked up on 250+ servers within 5 mins.<br>
<br>
<br>
Let me know if this works for you.<br>
<br>
I'll try to update the wiki with everything hopefully by this weekend.<br>

Good luck<br>

Hi Steve<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, I can't offer any useful advise other than to log this<br>
with RedHat GSS.  If lots of people do this then maybe the problem<br>
will be fixed sooner.<br>
<br>
FWIW, I'd like func to replace osad sooner rather than later also.<br>
There used to be an entry on the roadmap<br>
(<a href="https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/roadmap" target="_blank">https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/roadmap</a>)
with func on the timeline<br>
but it's gone now.<br>
