spacewalk remote command execution

PoleStar · 01-27-2011, 03:36 PM

Hello,

I was reading/looking at spacewalk, I noticed it talks about remote configuration after installation.

My question is, if all managed system listen to central(spacewalk) server, can we send a command to those server?

As if I want to see user logged in in each managed server can I send a command though shell on multiple server and get results.

Right now we do that over ssh,

Code:

read server list
hold server ip in "A"

ssh <user>@<A> "who"

Like that.

I been reading help file on binaries which start with spacewalk....
But I could not find any thing of that kind.

But at the same time spacewalk ppl claim we can monitor host.

Thanks

Well remote configuration is not remote commands per se, spacewalk deals more with synchronising files and templates using, afaik, puppet. I believe that it will also configure func though, and that does do exactly what you're asking for. Quite hiw deeply spacewalk is integrating it, and how accessible it is to you, i'm not sure. And tbh i'm not sure i'd it does use it. If not, you could certainly add it and integrate it into kickstart scripts etc.
