[Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk capability question

Thu Apr 12 17:30:00 UTC 2018

Client side... Once that is done, you should be able to schedule whatever 
you need to through the spacewalk in any of the multiple ways that you 
want to.

- Thanks and good luck

Thank you for such detailed information William.

Do those rhn-action commands need to be run on each individual client? Or 
do they need to be run on the Spacewalk server?

Spacewalk should be setup to already schedule.  IF you want the commands 
to run immediately, then install osad on the clients.  However there is a 
cost with doing that (Will not cover).  If you do not install osad, on the 
next rhn-check (default every 4 hours) the commands will run.

On the client side,

When you registered the SSL cert should have been applied.. You can 
verify:
        by looking in /etc/sysconfig/up2date and the file 
 /usr/share/rhn/RHN-ORG-TRUSTED-SSL-CERT (

If you installed rhncfg-actions, then check to see it they are enabled
                rhn-actions-control --report
                rhn-actions-control --enable-all (or whatever you want)
                rhn-actions-control --report

Once that is done you have multiple ways of scheduling:
        UI

        spacecmd   (To make it so that the password is not in history) 
 --> more under man spacecmd
       vi ~/.spacecmd/config
       [spacewalk]
       server=xxxx.xxxxx.com
       username=xxxxxx
        password=xxxxxx

        spacecmd -s spacewalk help system_runscript 
        spacecmd -s spacewalk -- system_runscript server1 server2 server3 
-u root -g root -t7200 -f script.xx 
           spacecmd -s spacewalk -- system_runscript channel:xxxxxx -u 
root -g root -t7200 -f script.xx

       The script can be bash/perl/python..  exit 1 if there is a problem, 
the Spacewalk UI -> Schedule will have a list of failed.  Or you can get 
the list of failures trough spacecmd as well.

It looks like, to use that feature, you need osa-dispatcher installed, and 
SSL configured between Spacewalk and the clients - is that correct? (I 
have neither installed/configured at this point)

Paul, 

You can push commands with the option "remote commands" from SSM.

BR,

I'm new to Spacewalk - just got it installed and registered a couple 
hundred CentOS workstations (6.9).

I need to implement a security setting on all of these machines - 
"chkconfig --level 2345 restorecond on"

Is there a way in Spacewalk to push that setting/command out to all of 
these machines automatically?

Thanks

PG
