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. - Steve </BLOCKQUOTE> <BLOCKQUOTE TYPE=CITE> On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 8:54 PM, <<A HREF="mailto:Josh.Mullis@cox.com">Josh.Mullis@cox.com</A>> wrote: Steve, I was able to resolve some similar issues the other day and will update the wiki sometime tomorrow hopefully. <A HREF="http://www.mail-archive.com/spacewalk-list@redhat.com/msg03702.html">http://www.mail-archive.com/spacewalk-list@redhat.com/msg03702.html</A> I also have a cronjob on all my clients that restarts osad and runs rhn_check roughly every 4 hours randomly. I also have rhnsd disabled on the clients. It's a lotta crap, but it has been working flawlessly for several weeks. Scheduled actions get picked up on 250+ servers within 5 mins. Let me know if this works for you. I'll try to update the wiki with everything hopefully by this weekend.

If lots of people do this then maybe the problem will be fixed sooner. FWIW, I'd like func to replace osad sooner rather than later also. There used to be an entry on the roadmap (<A HREF="https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/roadmap">https://fedorahosted.org/spacewalk/roadmap</A>) with func on the timeline but it's gone now.
