This is what I generally recommend anyway, because it allows far more flexibility and configurability for the syncing process.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue
Is it possible to use the custom Quartz format scheduler in Spacewalk on the command line and still pass certain parameters too in that schedule? (i.e. --latest) Or would you recommend in this case disabling the scheduler, and setting up my own cron job and bash script to ensure syncing of only the latest packages (on a nightly basis)?

If you check the boxes and hit "Schedule" (at the bottom of the page), it should save the options along with your chosen schedule. If this doesn't work, it's a bug.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue
So I can't get the option of "sync only latest packages" to save at all on the UI. I click on the checkbox, but there is no save button on the page. Checking the box off and then hitting "sync now" also doesn't save it. I'm reading here https://www.redhat.com/archives/spacewalk-list/2016-March/msg00048.html, but I want this save to be permanent.

Re: [Spacewalk-list] Spacewalk clean up packages issue
Thanks Avi, is that the "sync only latest packages" checkbox on the UI under the Sync tab for a Software Channel? Out of curiosity, how is this done via the cli?

This didn’t use to happen before maybe 2 months ago, and nothing has changed I believe in my environment to warrant this change; the script was ran and space would not fill out the night after. You'll want to check your channel sync scripts to make sure spacewalk-repo-sync is called using the --latest/-n flag (at least for the channels that fill up your disk space) so that Spacewalk doesn't redownload all the old packages you removed. There is also a UI checkbox for this on the Sync tab for a Software Channel.
