<span style="color:#1F497D"> </span><span style="color:red">That’s because of how your initial setup is configured, if you want faster response to queued jobs then look into option (1.b), otherwise check taskomatic to make certain that you don’t have queued
jobs causing delays and setup a cron on the client to complete queued jobs (from the spacewalk server).
