Table 5.1. rhn_package_manager options
Tip
These command line options are also described in the rhn_package_manager man
page: man rhn_package_manager.
Description
Process this number of headers per call — the default is
32.
List each package name, version number, release number,
and architecture in the specified channel(s).
Check if local directory is in sync with the server.
Print the current configuration and exit.
Exclude files matching this glob expression — can be
present multiple times.
Push only the packages that are newer than packages
already pushed to the server for the specified channel.
Read the package names from stdin.
Push unsigned packages. By default the RHN Package
Manager attempts to push only signed packages.
Specify your RHN username. If you do not provide one with
this option, you will be prompted for it.
Specify your RHN password. If you do not provide one with
this option, you will be prompted for it.
Upload source package headers.
In the post-upload step, do not copy the packages to their
final location in the package tree.
Only print the packages to be pushed.
Not recommended — Turn off SSL.
Briefly describe the options.
Copies the file listed in the argument into the specified
channel. Useful when a channel on the proxy is missing
a package and you don't want to reimport all of the
packages in the channel. E.g., rhn_package_manager-
cCHANNEL--copyonly/PATH/TO/MISSING/FILE
