rhnpush
with .mpm Files
The Solaris version of
rhnpush
works like the standard utility, but with the added ability to
handle .mpm files. Below is a usage example:
% rhnpush -v --server testbox.example.com --username myuser -c solaris-8 \
RHATrpush-3.1.5-*.mpm
Red Hat Network password:
Connecting to http://testbox.example.com/APP
Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-21.sparc-solaris.mpm
Uploading package RHATrpush-3.1.5-23.sparc-solaris.mpm
Note
Patch cluster .mpm files must be pushed either concurrently with or after — never before
— the .mpm files for the patches contained in that cluster.
Use solaris2mpm on each of the packages, patches, or patch clusters you wish to manage via the
Satellite, then use RHN Push to upload them to the channel you created for them.

rhnsd
On Red Hat Enterprise Linux systems, the
rhnsd
daemon, which instructs the client system to check
in with RHN, automatically starts at boot time. On Solaris systems,
rhnsd
does not
start at boot time
by default. It can be started from the command line in this way:
