6.4.2.9.1.3. System Details � Details � Remote Command —
This subtab allows you to run a remote command on the system if the system possesses a
Provisioning entitlement. Before doing so, you must first configure the system to accept such
commands.
• First, subscribe the system to the RHN Tools channel and use
up2date
to install the
rhncfg
,
rhncfg-client
, and
rhncfg-actions
packages.
up2date rhncfg rhncfg-client rhncfg-actions
• Log into the system as root and add the following file to the local RHN configuration directory:
allowed-actions/scripts/run
.
• Create the necessary directory on the target system:
mkdir -p /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script
• Create an empty
run
file in that directory to act as a flag to RHN signaling permission to allow
remote commands:
touch /etc/sysconfig/rhn/allowed-actions/script/run
Once the setup is complete, refresh the page in order to view the text fields for remote commands.
You may then identify a specific user, group, and timeout period, as well as the script itself on
this page. Select a date and time to begin attempting the command, and click
Schedule Remote
Command
.

An activation key specific to this System Profile. Reactivation keys, available only for systems that

then be used only once with the
rhnreg_ks
command line utility to re-register this system and regain
all Red Hat Network settings. Refer to
Section 2.5, “Registering with Activation Keys”
