172 Chapter 8. UNIX Support Guide
8.1.3. Included Features
The following features are included in the UNIX support service level as they exist within
RHN:
•
A Provisioning feature called Remote Command that enables users to schedule root-level
commands on any managed client through the Satellite’s website, if the client allows this
action
•
All Management-level functionality, such as system grouping, package profile compari-
son, and use of the System Set Manager to administer multiple systems at once
•
The
rhn_check
program, which checks in with the Satellite and performs any actions
scheduled from the server
•
The Red Hat Network Service Daemon (
rhnsd
), which triggers
rhn_check
accord-
ing to a configurable interval
•
The Red Hat Network Configuration Client (
rhncfg-client
), which executes all
configuration actions scheduled from the Satellite
•
The Red Hat Network Configuration Manager (
rhncfg-manager
), which allows
command line administration of RHN configuration channels
8.1.4. Differences in Functionality
The following RHN features work differently in a UNIX environment:
•
The Red Hat Update Agent for UNIX offers a much smaller set of options than its
Linux counterpart and relies upon the operating system’s native toolset for package in-
stallation, rather than
rpm
- Refer to Section 8.4.2.2 Updating From the Command Line
for the precise list of options
•
The RHN Push application has been similarly modified to upload native UNIX file
types, including packages, patches, and patch clusters.
Since Solaris package, patch and patch cluster files are different from rpm files, the chan-
nel upload mechanism is somewhat different.There are two applications in the
rhnpush
package for Solaris:
The first,
solaris2mpm
, creates an "
mpm
" file that
rhnpush
uploads. "
mpm
" is basically a
neutral format for describing package data.
A usage example:
% solaris2mpm RHATrpush-3.1.5-21.pkg RHATrpush-3.1.5-23.pkg
Opening archive, this may take a while
Writing out RHATrpush-3.1.5-21.sparc-solaris.mpm
Opening archive, this may take a while
Writing out RHATrpush-3.1.5-23.sparc-solaris.mpm
