That works, but do I have to run it by hand? Or can I 'just' make a
cronjob for it.

I don't find that section. After searching around, I found a 'Manage'
button and a link 'Update hardware/package profiles' -> 'Confirm Package
Profiles Refresh' (via System Set Manager)

This works too for updating the list.

I followed that tutorial and disabled alle local repos, but that did not
work .... I had two Centos.repo files with the option 'enabled=0'

But updates were looked up from that repo to. I renameed the config file
and now only my spacewalk-server is polled.
