Using the RHN Push application

You can override the settings in your RHN Push configuration file(s) by specifying options and values

on the command line:

rhnpush -c label_of_private_channel --server localhost pkg-list

The label_of_private_channel is the custom channel created to receive these packages. Be

sure you use the precise channel label specified during its creation. If you have one or more channels

specified (using -c or --channel), the uploaded package headers are linked to all the channels

identified. If you do not specify a channel, the packages are deposited in the No Channels section of

the Package Management page. Refer to

Section 4.6, "Assigning Packages to Software Channels"

for instructions on reassigning packages.

The --server option specifies the server to which the packages are installed, and is required. RHN

Push can be installed on external systems, but running RHN Push locally on the RHN Satellite Server

is recommended.

The pkg-list reference represents the list of packages to be uploaded. Alternatively, use the -d

option to specify the local directory that contains the packages to be added to the channel. RHN Push

can also read the list of packages from standard input (using --stdin).
