[Spacewalk-list] Clone a parent channel and make it a child

[Glen Collins]

Ok. I don't know why I can't get it correct but for whatever reason I don't think this script can do it. But I used "spacecmd" and I was able to successfully create the child channel within the blank parent as I described below....BUT! For the life of me I cannot figure out how to use "spacecmd" in non-interactive mode. Does anyone have a sample they could pass along using spacecmd in no-interactive mode? 



[root at xxxxxx bin]# spacecmd 
Welcome to spacecmd, a command-line interface to Spacewalk.

spacecmd {SSM:0}> softwarechannel_clone 
Source Channels: 
oracle-base-channel 
oracle-linux-6-x86_64 

Select source channel: oracle-linux-6-x86_64 
Channel Name: tuesday-oracle-linux-6-x86_64 
Channel Label: tuesday-oracle-linux-6-x86_64 




Base Channels: 


oracle-base-channel 
oracle-linux-6-x86_64 





Select Parent [blank to create a base channel]: oracle-base-channel 




Copy source channel GPG details? [y/N]: n 
GPG URL: 
GPG ID: 
GPG Fingerprint: 

Original State (No Errata) [y/N]: y 


All the highlighted entries is what I need to feed to spacecmd. I know a while ago a patch was added to allow for non-interactive input but I think that was for new channel only and not a clone. 

If anyone can assist it would be helpful! 

Thanks

Hello all. I'm having some issues trying to figure out the spacewalk-clone-by-date script. Is it possible to use this script to clone a base channel into an existing parent channel as a child? Here is what my group looks like... 

oel-6.x-base-x86_64 (Always kept up to sync with the Oracle ULN) 
oracle-base-channel - (Zero files-Only used for base subscription) 
|_______ patcheding-oel-6.x-base-x86_64 (Child channel - Cloned to current date with errata's from oel-6.x-base-x86_64) 

What I am trying to do is to setup a monthly patching schedule so my systems all are patched with a certain date/time for the whole month of patching and then delete and recreate for the following month. Am I using the proper script or is there another one I'm not aware of. I've been googeling this and found a few examples but none of them work for me. 

Thanks for any assistance! 

Glen Collins
