[Spacewalk-list] System checkin after reboot

Hi,
I'm trying to use an action chain that includes a reboot but after the reboot a system takes ages to continue with that chain. It seems the next actions are only picked up with the next rhn checkin that (depending on the configuration) can take 4 hours :) The System is pingable via osad. So the question is, is that a behaviour that is intended? Shouldn't rhnsd or osad once they are started check in and pick up the latest actions? :)
I can work around the problem simply by calling an rhn_check after network is ready but thats an ugly fix :)

While trying to narrow that issue down I noticed another bug just in case anyone else ran into this: a system installed packages that needed a reboot and I reboot the system but the warning message in spacewalk gui does not disappear. I looked into the code:
https://github.com/spacewalkproject/spacewalk/blob/e36bc98e7e7a9e8c07b513ff1ab073e303469b3b/java/code/src/com/redhat/rhn/common/db/datasource/xml/System_queries.xml#L840
the function calculating the timestamp from unixtime is one hour off for me (my timezone: CEST), the timestamp in rhnServerInfo is correct. I guess its a bug in postgres (I'm running rhel6 latest) 

Greetings
