[Spacewalk-list] Any help on this.... Updates not automatically being installed/

[David Walsh]

Hi Colin,
                 Thanks for the reply although my original email already 
states that I have scheduled the update and I can see that the client 
has logged into the Spacewalk server.....it just does not install the 
update.
If I run rhn_check  manually, it does login and install the update.

Cheers,
                   David
