Re: Rhnsd?
Hi Bobby, Can you check further back in the older logs (/var/log/update- if you have logrotate installed) to see if this is the 12th up2date checkin? What may be happening is that rhnsd is designed to check in regularly 11 times, then on the 12th time it applies some random jitter to the time (to avoid lots of systems checking in at the same frequency all the time). After that it resumes the 4 hour checkins. -- Brad Hinson Worldwide System z Sales, Strategy, Marketing Red Hat, Inc. +1 (919) 360-0443 http://www.redhat.com/z On Aug 18, 2011, at 11:50 AM, Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: > In our RHEL 6, there is an RHNSD task that the man page says queries 'Red Hat > Network for updates and information'.

Re: Rhnsd?
The checkin at 21 minutes after the hour is definitely the regularly scheduled one. If you take these out, then you have a second pattern starting at 51 minutes past the our at roughly 6 hour intervals. Looks like rhnsd isn't doing the right thing. Is there only one rhnsd process running? If so, I'd recommend opening a RH support ticket. fyi, there's one open bug report against rhnsd that could be related: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=730350 -- Brad Hinson Worldwide System z Sales, Strategy, Marketing Red Hat, Inc. +1 (919) 360-0443 http://www.redhat.com/z On Aug 22, 2011, at 11:14 AM, Bauer, Bobby (NIH/CIT) [E] wrote: > Hi Brad, logrotate is installed.
