[Spacewalk-list] manage service run levels (chkconfig)

[Reneau, Wes W [HDS]]

I'm not installing the OS from spacewalk, yet.  I'm focusing primarily on getting current machines into spacewalk and managed.  I found that should I install a package from spacewalk I can manage its chkconfig levels by adding a remote command with package install but this is not an option from within the activation key. I'm running spacewalk 2.0.

thx

We have several hundred machines that we are adding to spacewalk (brand new installation of spacewalk) and we are adding some config files and rpms/services to each box via activation keys.  The problem is that by default services are configured off.  I can do it via remote commands and SSM but hoping I could manage this at registration.  Help appreciated.

Why not simply add these commands to the end of your bootstrap script?
I normally customize the bootstrap so that the user may enable/disable
his own post-registration tasks on demand.

With a recent Spacewalk there is also a feature called 'Action Chains',
where you could plan the package installation, configuration push and
activation of needed services and schedule these actions in one go.
