Chapter 6. Red Hat Network Daemon
The Red Hat Network Daemon periodically connects to the Red Hat Network to check for
updates and notifications. The default interval time is two hours (120 minutes). This can be
configured in the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
file by specifying the time interval in min-
utes. If you modify the configuration file, you must (as root) restart the daemon with the
command
service rhnsd restart
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd restart
.
Note
The minimum time interval allowed is one hour (60 minutes). If you set the interval below one hour, it
will default to two hours (120 minutes).
You can view the status of the
rhnsd
by typing the command
service rhnsd status
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd status
at a shell prompt.
To disable the daemon, (as root) run the
ntsysv
utility and uncheck
rhnsd
. You can also
(as root) execute the command
chkconfig rhnsd off
. Using these two methods will only
disable the service the next time the system is started. To stop the service immediately, use
the command
service rhnsd stop
or
/etc/rc.d/init.d/rhnsd stop
.
The same rules you configured for the
Red Hat Update Agent
apply to the Red Hat Network
Daemon (see Section 3.1).
