NAME
rhnsd - a program for quering the Red Hat Network for updates and information
SYNOPSIS
rhnsd
[OPTION]...
DESCRIPTION
rhnsd is a daemon process that runs in the background and
periodically polls the Red Hat Network to see if there are
any queued actions available. If any are queued, it runs them.
rhnsd is typically started from the init scripts in
/etc/init.d/rhnsd
when it's time to poll the Red Hat Network servers for available
updates and actions. The default interval is every 120 minutes.
The minimum polling interval is 60 minutes.
To check for updates, rhnsd runs an external program called
rhn_check. This is a small application that actually
makes the network connection to Red Hat Networks.
The rhnsd daemon does not listen on any network ports, nor
does it ever talk to the network directly. Any network
activity is done via the rhn_check utility.
rhnsd can be configure by editing the
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
config file. This is actually the
configuration file the rhnsd init script
/etc/init.d/rhnsd
uses.
-i, --interval
Specify the interval that rhnsd should wait between
checking the Red Hat Network. Default is 120 minutes,
the minimum is 60 minutes. This can also be specified
in
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
-v, --verbose
output more information about what rhnsd is doing.
-f, --foreground
force the rhnds process to run in the foreground instead
of automatically backgrounding itself, as it does by default.
FILES
