NAME
rhnsd - A program for querying the Red Hat Network for updates and
information.
SYNOPSIS
rhn_check [options]
DESCRIPTION
rhnsd is a background daemon process that periodically polls the Red
Hat Network to see if there are any queued actions available. If any
are queued, rhnsd will execute those actions.
rhnsd is typically started from the initialization (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 240
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 configured by editing the /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd. con‐
figuration file. This is actually the configuration file the rhnsd ini‐
tialization script /etc/init.d/rhnsd. uses.
OPTIONS
-i, --interval
Specify the interval that rhnsd should wait between checking the
Red Hat Network. Default is 240 minutes, the minimum is 60 min‐
utes. This can also be specified in /etc/sysconfig/rhn/rhnsd
-f, --foreground
force the rhnsd process to run in the foreground instead of
automatically backgrounding itself, as it does by default.
FILES
