[Spacewalk-list] automatic deployment of configuration channes at specific intervals

[Daniel Souvignier]

Hi Rick,

I have osad configured, but primarly for actions like immediate reboots 
of systems as I specify them on the web interface. For configuration 
channels, the cron job you suggested is what I wanted to do first, but 
it would be nice to have this managed by the server and not by each 
client, that's why I'm looking at the task schedules of the admin page 
as told by Gerald. Or do you know another way?

Regards,
Daniel
