[Spacewalk-list] Configuration Channels

[Waldirio Manhães Pinheiro]

Hello Friends,

About the big problem (point 3), follow one way

https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2014-October/msg00145.html

Part of text here, but is referent to script that you can create in your
conf channel to be deployed in /etc/cron.hourly, so will be executed one
time and after removed automatically.

###
#!/bin/bash
if [ -f /var/log/ref_teste ]; then
  echo "Script was defined - $(date)"           | tee -a /var/log/messages
  echo "Removing $0 from /etc/cron.hourly"      | tee -a /var/log/messages
  echo "### rm -rf /etc/cron.hourly/$0"         | tee -a /var/log/messages
else
  echo "TEST ### $(date) ###"                   | tee -a /var/log/messages

  # Command here !!!!
  service xpto_daemon restart

  touch /var/log/ref_teste
fi
###

Let me know if you have any doubt about it.

Take Care
