7       deployment.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

14       The RHN Configuration Client (rhncfg-client) is used to  query  a  sys‐
15       tem's configuration makeup and deployment status as managed by RHN.
16
17       This  tool enables an Red Hat Network client to list available configu‐
18       ration files, fetch (or get) those configuration files, view configura‐
19       tion  channels,  and  finally, diff and verify current configuration of
20       the system in comparison to the system's status according to RHN.
21
22       This tool utilizes a "cvs style" command syntax: command mode options
23
24       For example: rhncfg-client diff --topdir /home/test/blah/
25

MODE & OPTIONS

28              the config channels containing them. Used alone.
29
30       elist  List  the  configuration files for the machine and the labels of
31              the config channels containing them which provides  an  ls-esque

35              Download/deploy  the  most  relevant  configuration file for the

43              system and those for it stored by Red Hat Network.

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