There is no simple command from spacewalk to force something to run a
command immediately (there never was).  The closest thing is schedule
the task, then run rhn_check from the client as mentioned before.

What you _can_ do, however, is configure osad.  That will allow for near
real-time running of scheduled commands.  It requires it to be
configured at the spacewalk end and also at the client end.  It's a
jabber infrastructure that handles message queuing for scheduled
commands.
