[Spacewalk-list] scheduled updates not being picked up

[Pablo Iranzo Gómez]

	Hi
	The 240 minutes window is the checkin rhnsd does to satellite server.
What you do is to schedule an action "no sooner than X", so if the
checkin was at 3:59 and actions where for 4:00 your actions will be
picked up at 7:59.
	If you really need that window, just setup an entry in cron for running
"rhn_check" on systems that day at that hour and they will pick it up.

	Regards
	Pablo
