[Spacewalk-list] Force scheduled pending actions in Spacewalk

[Puck]

Has anyone gotten osa-dispatcher/osad working that could do a write-up 
on the wiki? I tried it once but ran into a bunch of TLS problems and 
never got it working so I gave up. If someone else has a working 
solution, I'd appreciate seeing the steps. I assume I just missed a 
basic step somewhere that I wasn't aware of.

When I tried, all the help I could find was:
Install jabberd and osa-dispatcher (on spacewalk server)
Edit /etc/jabberd/c2s.xml to uncomment router->pemfile and starttls 
lines (server)
Restart rhn-satellite (server)
Install osad (on client)
Copy /etc/jabberd/server.pem (server) to /usr/share/rhn/RHNS-JABBER-CERT 
(client)
Edit /etc/sysconfig/rhn/osad.conf (client) and set osa_ssl_cert = 
/usr/share/rhn/RHNS-FCCI-CERT
Start osad (client)

I forget where it first failed but I remember I spent a lot of time 
massaging the config files to get it further along in the process but 
eventually it just wouldn't go any further and I gave up. If anyone else 
can add in a few steps I missed I'm willing to write the procedure up 
into a wiki entry for all to enjoy. Any takers?
