Rather a client will check in with the server every 4 hours (by default, see /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd to change it) and pull in any actions the spacewalk server has scheduled for it. So to actually see if your action works automatically as it should you have to wait until the next time the client checks in, which might be up to 4 hours.<BR><BR>Of course you can always manually force a check on the client by running the <B>rhn_check</B> command.<BR><BR>Regards,<BR>Jeremy<BR>
