[Spacewalk-list] Understanding scheduling

[Werner van der Merwe]

Good day,

Just a quick question on how the scheduling works.
By default, the client checks in every 4 hours - let's assume that value is
unchanged.

Consider the following scenario:

The machine checks in at 7am - nothing to do.
At 8am I schedule a package installation for anytime after 1pm.
At 11am the client checks in again, a future event exists.

Would the client grab the task and execute it at (or around) 1pm, or would
it only execute the task after the first check-in after the scheduled
point, in this example, 3pm?
