[Spacewalk-list] Scheduled actions slow to be acted upon

[Mullis, Josh (CCI - Atlanta)]

For the time being I have put the following in root's crontab:

-----------------
/sbin/service jabberd stop ; /sbin/service osa-dispatcher stop ; rm -Rf /var/lib/jabberd/db/* ; /sbin/service jabberd start ; /sbin/service jabberd start
-----------------


...which I think is overkill, but it works very well.



Is there any timeline for func integration to replace jabber/osa?



Thanks
-Josh
