[Spacewalk-list] Automatic auto updates

Thu Mar 10 15:50:17 UTC 2016

Python would be the best way, but if you are interested in bash/spacecmd 
examples.  Just some quick examples.

for server in `spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q group_listsystems 
group`; do
        for errata in `spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q 
system_listerrata $server |egrep -vi "^security|^-|^bug|^enhancement" 
|grep [a-zA-Z0-9] |awk '{print $1}'`; do
                spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q 
system_applyerrata $server $errata
        done
done

To save several spacecmd, %sessions, and schedules on the above, could 
also do.
        server_errata=`spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q 
system_listerrata $server |egrep -vi "^security|^-|^bug|^enhancement" 
|grep [a-zA-Z0-9] |awk '{print $1}' |paste -s -d" "`
        spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q system_applyerrata 
$server $server_errata

yum update -y, with error checking and any additional scripting needed.
        server_list=`spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q 
group_listsystems group |paste -s -d" "`
        spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q -- system_runscript 
$server_list -u root -g root -t7200 -f  /pathtofile.sh  (yum with error 
checking and returns)

reboot (if servers are not running osad, then the -s schedule needs to be 
> 4 hours then when the reboot command is sent)
        Caution: ensure that virtuals are removed, that exist on hypers 
that are going to be rebooted.

        server_list=`spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q 
group_listsystems group |paste -s -d" "`
        spacecmd -s xxxxxx -u yyyyy -p zzzzzz -q -- system_runscript 
$server_list -u root -g root -t7200 -s YYYYMMDD[HHMM]-f  /reboot2am.sh 

        reboot.sh  ---> 

                #/bin/bash
                nohup shutdown -r HH:MM > /dev/null 2>&1 & 
                exit 0 
shutdown -c can be ran on the servers before HH:MM just in case a mistake 
was made!

- Thanks and good luck

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.
