5.3. Script Use

Finally, when you're finished preparing the script for use, you are ready to run it. Log into the RHN
Satellite Server or RHN Proxy Server, navigate to the /var/www/html/pub/bootstrap/ directory
and run the following command, altering the hostname and name of the script as needed to suit the
system type:
cat bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh | ssh root@CLIENT_MACHINE1 /bin/bash
A less secure alternative is to use either wget or curl to retrieve and run the script from every client
system. Log into each client machine and issue the following command, altering script and hostname
accordingly:
wget -qO - \
https://your-satellite.example.com/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh \
| /bin/bash
Or with, curl:
curl -Sks \
https://your-satellite.example.com/pub/bootstrap/bootstrap-EDITED-NAME.sh \
| /bin/bash
When this script has been run on each client system, all should be configured to use the RHN Server.

5.4. RHN Bootstrap Options

The RHN Bootstrap offers many command line options for creating client boostrap scripts. Although
descriptions of these options can be found within the following table, ensure that they are available in
