[Spacewalk-list] Client software update (download package from spacewalk server)

Wed Jun 13 16:30:05 UTC 2018

Hello J,

A lot of interesting infos here, then you can

  - Check it via spacecmd
  - Check via api *I believe there is any call that will show you the info*
  - Check via spacewalk-report
  - Forcing this configuration via Configuration Channel *here you can
create one script and deploy on your /etc/cron.d or /etc/cron.weekly*
  - and much more :-)

Enjoy
