To enable remote actions from the Satellite, after registering the client
and making sure it's subscribed to the rhn-tools child channel, do this on
the client:

yum install osad rhncfg-*
rhn-actions-control --enable-all
service osad start

osad is what keeps the client is constant communication with Satellite so
it will pick up commands/transactions very quickly.

Use the "Schedule reboot" link on the system details tab.

Use the system page Software-->Packages-->Install New Packages link to
push packages from the Satellite to the client.  Not sure what rpms you'd
want to try to push from the client to the Satellite, but there's doc on
how to load your own or third party rpms to Satellite/spacewalk and get
them into channels.
