[Spacewalk-list] How to confirm that spacewalk is fetching updates (for mitigating meltdown bug)

[Raymond Setchfield]

Hi Michael

I have been keeping an eye out on the updates, but cannot see them on
spacewalk

kernel versions which the servers are running
2.6.32-696.16.1.el6.x86_64 -centos6
3.10.0-693.11.1.el7.x86_64 - centos7

There is no updates available to the centos6 server, but there is for
centos 7. However, this appears to ext updates (e2fsprogs)
