Yes. The easiest way is simply to schedule a remote command to run on the server. I'm on Satellite, but I assume Spacewalk is quite similar...there is a Remote Command link for a system or a system set, and in there you can put script commands to run on the remote machine. You can schedule them to run "as soon as possible," which means the next time the system checks in, or no sooner than a specific time. If you'd like to copy a script to the client and then execute it, that's a bit more tricky. Essentially you'd have to upload it via a config channel, then run (via Remote Command) something like "at" to get it to go. Or, I suppose you could upload the script to one of the cron folders, where it'd get picked up. But I prefer the first method, of using Remote Command. > Also is there a way to do a bulk upload of files to spacewalk ?

If you're familiar with Python, I have a couple of scripts that do this already for my Satellite installation. The API isn't that tough to get started with. But, if you're wanting to upload the scripts and then execute them remotely, that's a bit more involved.
