<br></div>The tool I was thinking of writing would be inspired by the old Yast Backup tool essentially find all the files, directories, symlinks etc. under a directory specified by the user then do the following<br></div>

Well what do you mean by that?<br>
Do you mean creating a profile for a server that doesn't exist yet or do you mean creating a profile for a server already registered to spacewalk?<br>
Please clarify.<br>
