[Spacewalk-list] spacewalk-repo-sync and OSAD

[jdfire at cox.net]

Hello Spacewalk list,

Does anyone have any ideas as to what is going on? I have found that the osad service stops working around 5:30pm local time.

Any assistance you could provide on this subject would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your time and have a great day!

Kind regards,
JD

It seems that spacewalk-repo-sync might not be the cause of this issue.Yesterday, I performed a couple of manual repo syncs and OSAD stayed up and running but when I came in this morning it was down again. In order to get the clients back up and going I have to perform the following.

When I turned on this script after about 24 hours the osa service wouldn't send remote commands to the client (Ping from the Web UI still worked). After turning off the custom script it seems everything is back up and going.
