NAME

rhncfg-client - a tool used for system configuration querying and deployment.

SYNOPSIS

     
 
 rhncfg-client [ mode  ]  [ options ... ]  [ arguments ... ] 
 
 

DESCRIPTION

The RHN Configuration Client (rhncfg-client) is used to query a system's configuration makeup and deployment status as managed by RHN.

This tool enables an Red Hat Network client to list available configuration files, fetch (or get) those configuration files, view configuration channels, and finally, diff and verify current configuration of the system in comparison to the system's status according to RHN.

This tool utilizes a "cvs style" command syntax: command mode options

For example: rhncfg-client diff --topdir /home/test/blah/

MODE & OPTIONS

list

List the configuration files for the machine and the labels of the config channels containing them. Used alone.

elist

List the configuration files for the machine and the labels of the config channels containing them which provides an ls-esque style output. Used alone.

get CONFIG_FILEPATH

Download/deploy the most relevant configuration file for the machine. For example: rhncfg-client get /etc/foo.conf

channels

View the labels and names of the config channels that apply to the system. Used alone.

diff

Obtain a difference between the config files deployed on the system and those for it stored by Red Hat Network.

May be used with the --topdir ROOT_PATH option. E.g., rhncfg-client diff --topdir /home/test/foo/

verify

Quick verification to see if files are different than those associated with it on Red Hat Network.

All files are displayed unless called with the -o or --only option, in which case only files with differences are displayed.

-h, --help

Display the help screen with a list of options.
