[Spacewalk-list] Problem with Client

[Frank Paulick]

Hi

running rhn_check kind of solved the problem.
i thougt sceduling the update job on the server would automatically
transfer all required packages to the to be updated system and start the
update.
is there a way to do this ?

running rhn_check manually on every client ins't an option in larger
environments
is there a status logfile on the server regarding planed jobs ?

kind regards
Frank
