[Spacewalk-list] I've scheduled updates but they don't seem to be happening

[Stephen Herr]

The most normal cause is that the client has not checked in yet. Run 
rhn_check manually on the client, if the actions are picked up then 
ensure that rhnsd is enabled and running. If that doesn't solve the 
problem, ensure that the systemId on the client corresponds with the 
sid= parameter of the system profile you've scheduled the actions for 
(grep ID /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid). Finally, check the server and 
database current times to make sure they look reasonable:
$ date
$ spacewalk-sql -i
rhnschema=# select current_timestamp;
Ctrl-d to exit

If none of those work, then know you're not the only one. A couple of 
users have reported this problem with Spacewalk 2.2. I don't know why 
yet, but hopefully I'll be able to investigate the problem today. You 
may want to add yourself as a CC to this bug to receive updates:
