rhn_check − check for queued actions on RHN and execute them
/usr/sbin/rhn_check [-v] [--verbose]
rhn_check is a client program that connects to the Red Hat Network backend servers and retrieves information associated with the queued actions for this particular system. This script reads the digital server ID from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid and uses that to identify the machine to the Red Hat Network. Upon successfull authentication, rhn_check will start processing the queued actions sequentially.
The following types of actions are currently processed by rhn_check:
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid The digital server ID for this machine if the system has been registered onto Red Hat Network. This file does not exist otherwise.
/var/spool/up2date This directory is used by up2date to store package headers and RPM packages downloaded from Red Hat Network
man pages for up2date(8) and rhnsd(8).
