Description Kenny Tordeurs 2018-05-14 10:03:42 UTC

Description of problem:
When specifying multiple parameters with rhn-satellite-activate it only executes the last parameter

When doing something like the following only the last parameter --manifest-info gets executed:

# rhn-satellite-activate --manifest-refresh --manifest-reconcile-request --manifest-info
~~~

When doing something like below only --manifest-reconcile-request gets executed:
# rhn-satellite-activate --manifest-refresh --manifest-reconcile-request 
~~~

Comment 2 Jan Dobes 2018-05-14 17:29:55 UTC

Combining multiple --manifest-* parameters in single run is not supported according to the current code. It could be fixed by either:

1. doing the execution chain reasonably: manifest-reconcile-request -> manifest-refresh -> manifest-info
2. complaining about invalid parameter combination

Comment 3 Kenny Tordeurs 2018-05-15 08:23:46 UTC

I would vote for option 2
