Even a extra web interface in php and perl crontab to manage the patching of thousands of servers via spacewalk. <br>
If interested, I can put them on github ...<br>

can be worked through the testing cycle before being applied in production. Currently I am doing this manually through the GUI. A mindless, time consuming thing. I would like to set up scripts to do this for me. Any clues on how to do this will be much appreciated.<p></p></span></p>
