[Spacewalk-list] Any help on this.... Updates not automatically being installed/

[Colin Coe]

Hi David

Have you scheduled a job (package update, remote command, reboot,
whatever) and then run 'rhn_check' on the client?  If this works, I'd
suggest that the client just hasn't checked in since you scheduled the
job.  Client checkins are 4 hourly by default.
