[Spacewalk-list] Scheduled jobs picked up but not executing

[Andy Ingham]

Check out the man page for run-actions-control

>>> man rhn-actions-control

Looks like you'd (minimally) need to execute

>>> rhn-actions-control --enable-run

But may also want to enable other sorts of actions.  (We just do an "--enable-all" and call it a day).

i am not the original poster of this question, but I have the same problem.

When I run "rhn-actions-control --report"
I get:
deploy is disabled
diff is disabled
upload is disabled
mtime_upload is disabled
run is disabled

How do I go about changing that?

Sounds like the communication between spacewalk and the client is working, but perhaps the client isn't "allowed" to execute a command?

What does the output of "rhn-actions-control --report" on an affected client show?

Especially, does it show that "run is enabled" ?

Hi all,

Having a funky issue with Spacewalk and scheduling remote commands. On some systems (around 40 or so out of over 500) I schedule a command and they get picked up, but they don't actually execute. The UI shows them as being picked up, but they just... sit there. I've verified that rhnsd and osad is running on the client side, and jabberd and osa-dispatcher is running on the server end.

This action will be executed after 6/26/14 2:27:00 PM EDT
This action's status is: Picked Up.
The client picked up this action on 6/26/14 2:28 PM
The client has not yet completed this action.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chris
