Yes, I’ve registered my Spacewalk server with itself, to get updates etc, 
and installed OSAD on it.

Hi Phil 

Ohh.. thanks a lot for your notices, they are quite helpfull, but :-) 

can I install an osad on the spacewalk-server, so that he can schedules 
tasks on "himself"? 

I tried the following, on the SW-Web-Gui: 

Systems -> Seeking my Spacewalk-Server (swmain) -> Details -> Remote 
Command 
As skript just a "ls" or something like that and schedule in 5 mins. 

Got a "Remote Command has been scheduled successfully at 1/23/19 1:34:00 
PM CET. " 

A look into Schedule tells me "Pending", afai understand, and I will see 
it tomorrow, in max 4h he will/should execute my simple ls, and now the 
part I am seeking for... 
Again thats not scheduled on any client, but on the Spacewalk-Server, 
where Spacewalk is running solely, pgsql, the webgui, osa-dispatcher and 
all the stuff.. 

As I learned, the osa-dispatcher -> osad communication does the trick to 
schedule it and run it at the designated time, not the 4h cycle, since the 
osad runs on SW-clients, there is no trouble, (well sometimes with the 
communication of osad, but thats a different topic), now the question, 
could I riskfree install a osad on my swmain, there would be running 
osa-dispatcher and osad on the same machine, and would he (swmain) pick 
the job correctly? 

Thanks again for your time 
cheers 
Matthias

Hi Matthias 

No problem, I have NO ability to write as much as you have in a foreign 
language so you’re still doing far better than meJ 

When Spacewalk is installed on the server osa-dispatcher will be running 
automatically. Scheduled tasks (including scripts initiated from Remote 
Command) will only be picked up every 4 hours, as mentioned below. You 
could possibly reduce this to minutes, rather than hours, by amending the 
setting in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd. Alternatively, you can install OSAD 
on registered client systems and then scheduled tasks should be picked up 
almost immediately. 

If you want to install OSAD my notes, below, may help? 

osa-dispatcher 
Server-side service written in Python that determines when an osad client 
instance needs to be pinged or run rhn_check and sends a message telling 
them to do so. 

Open Source Architecture Daemon (OSAD) 
Client-side service written in Python that responds to pings and runs 
rhn_check when told to by osa-dispatcher. 

Install OSAD and related RHN/Spacewalk packages 
# yum -y install osad rhncfg rhncfg-actions rhncfg-client 

Spacewalk Actions Control - Enable Scheduled Actions 
# rhn-actions-control --enable-all 

Spacewalk Actions Control - Show Status 
# rhn-actions-control --report 

Start OSAD 
# systemctl start osad.service OR service osad start 

Enable OSAD 
# systemctl enable osad.service OR chkconfig osad on 

OSAD Log File 
/var/log/osad

Phil

Hi Phil, 

thanks for your explanation, sorry, as non native english person, I had 
some trouble to formulate it correct.... 

Yes thats the way, as you describe with client systems, the way I also do 
it or via spacecmd, but I would like to schedule this way on my 
SpaceWalk-Server, not the client. 
As far as I noticed there is the osa-dispatcher running but not an osad 
(client) therefore he (my spacewalk-server) doesnt pick the job 

This was my question... (still have trouble to put it in propper english 
sentences ;->) 

cheers 
Matthias

Hi Matthias 

I’m not entirely sure what you’re asking but you can schedule scripts from 
the Spacewalk Web UI in the following way: 

Systems > Click on system name > Remote Command - Add script details then 
click on Schedule 

Click on Schedule top menu item to see progress of Action 

Note, by default, the rhnsd daemon on a client system connects to the 
Spacewalk server every 4 hours (see /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd) and performs 
any updates or actions that you have scheduled. However, if you install 
the Open Source Architecture Daemon (OSAD), on the client system, updates 
and actions should be picked up almost immediately from the Spacewalk 
server.

Hi! 

Is there any chance to Schedule-Jobs via "system_runscript" working on a 
SpaceWalk-Server like it works on any Client? 
I know taskomatic is the "scheduler" within SpaceWalk, but that is not 
configurable. 

At the moment I use at to schedule dynamic processes, but thats a bit 
"tricky" 

Perhaps someone has a better solution, and not using something like 
obsidian or Automic? 

cheers 
Matthias
