[Spacewalk-list] remove a profile from the command line

[Armstrong, Kenneth Lawrence (SYSADMIN)]

Cool, thanks.

I slapped together a python script to handle this:

#!/usr/bin/python

import xmlrpclib
import sys

# get the API from the Satellite server
SATELLITE_URL = "https://satellite.example.com/rpc/api"
SATELLITE_LOGIN = "APIUser"
SATELLITE_PASSWORD = "password"

client = xmlrpclib.Server(SATELLITE_URL, verbose=0)

key = client.auth.login(SATELLITE_LOGIN, SATELLITE_PASSWORD)

def main():
    # Delete any Kickstart profiles passed via the command line
    for arg in sys.argv[1:]:
        if arg == '--help':
            print ''
            print 'Pass a Kickstart label to delete it.'
            print 'Example: rhn_cleanup Tester'
            print ''
        else:
            client.kickstart.deleteProfile(key,arg)

if __name__ == "__main__":
    main()

# close out the connection to the API
client.auth.logout(key)

This won't help, since Spacewalk will re-sync that profile after a while to cobbler again.

Using API: kickstart.deleteProfile()
