So just as you're able to schedule a remote command in the webui, you're able to do it with a xml-rpc script. Webui in Spacewalk 2.1 won't accept >< signs, but xml-rpc api does (tested). Some example scripts: <a href="http://www.spacewalkproject.org/documentation/api/2.1/scripts.html" target="_blank">http://www.spacewalkproject.org/documentation/api/2.1/scripts.html</a> And in your particular case, the script you'd want (in python): ... #!/usr/bin/python import xmlrpclib SATELLITE_URL = "<a href="http://your.spacewalk.url.com/rpc/api" target="_blank">http://your.spacewalk.url.com/rpc/api</a>" SATELLITE_LOGIN = "youruser" SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "yourpassword" system_id = 0 # change this to the system id you want to schedule the run for user = "root" # change this to the user to run the remote command as groupt = "root" # change this to the group to run the remote command as timeout = 60 # in seconds script = """ #!/bin/bash echo "whatever" > /tmp/wherever """ client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0) key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD) client.system.schedule_script_run(key, system_id, \ user, \ group, \ timeout, \ script, \ xmlrpclib.DateTime()) client.auth.logout(key) ...
