8. Automating Synchronization

Manually synchronizing the RHN Satellite Server repository with Red Hat Network can be a

time-intensive task. United States business hours tend to be the peak usage time for Red Hat

Network, so synchronization at that time may be slow. For these reasons, Red Hat encourages

you to automate synchronization at other times to better balance load and ensure quick

synchronization. Continental United States business hours are roughly 8:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST

(UTC -5), due to four time zones, Monday through Friday. These hours may vary seasonally by

one hour. Further, Red Hat strongly recommends that synchronization occur randomly for best

performance.

This automation can be set easily by the addition of a simple cron job. To do this, edit the

crontab as root:

crontab -e

This opens the crontab in a text editor, by default Vi. Another editor can be used by first

changing the EDITOR variable, like so: export EDITOR=gedit.

Once opened, use the first five fields (minute, hour, day, month, and weekday) to schedule the
