[Spacewalk-list] Force Configuration File Compliance During Compares?

[Glennie, Jonathan - 0443 - MITLL]

Hello-

 

Is there a way to configure spacewalk to automatically push config files to
client systems when the compares get run and differences are noticed?  I'm
working with a large number of VMs and sometimes they get rolled back to
previous states from snapshots, therefor any config file updates/changes
that have been previously made and pushed do not get reapplied as SW thinks
the client picked up and executed it's task, even though the client is then
in a state where it hasn't.  I would like to be able to tell SW and the
client to automatically re-deoploy config files to a machine when
differences are found, but right now the only way I can think of to do that
is to put a cron entry on every machine to run "rhncfg-client get" at some
specified time interval.  It's a lot of unnecessary overhead and the network
traffic could be trimmed down quite a bit if SW and the clients were only
updating files that need to be and only when they need to be.   Does anyone
know of a better way?  Thanks.
