[Spacewalk-list] Automatic auto updates

[Alexander Dacre]

I can’t share the code we’ve written – company won’t let me – but the applications utilise the XML RPC API: http://www.spacewalkproject.org/documentation/api/2.4/.

A quick pseudocode example would be to:

CALL systemgroup.listSystems(“group name”)
FOR EACH SYSTEM:
  CALL system.getUnscheduledErrata
    FOR EACH ERRATUM:
      System.scheduleApplyErrata

Pretty straightforward to do in Python.

Thanks,

Hmm, via spacecmd?

Can chops and share examples? :)
Thanks.

Absolutely!

We do this with the API. I provide a system group to a little bespoke application which goes off and gets all the member systems. For each system it calls the getUnschedulerErrata method and then another to schedule them at a specified time. There is some other stuff it does like customer notifications etc too.

The reboot can also be done via the API with a similar method.
