Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description John Sefler 2015-02-19 20:19:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
There are a few typos and grammar improvements that can be made in the rhsmcertd man page.  See the comments that follow for each.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.13.19-1.el7.x86_64
Comment 1 John Sefler 2015-02-19 20:31:28 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsmcertd | grep "certmgr"
       This rhsmcertd process invokes the certmgr.py  script  to  perform  the
              * /usr/share/rhsm/certmgr.py


I don't believe these statements about "certmgr.py" are accurate.  In fact...
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# ls /usr/share/rhsm/certmgr.py
ls: cannot access /usr/share/rhsm/certmgr.py: No such file or directory

I think the rhsmcertd process invokes the /usr/libexec/rhsmcertd-worker script
Comment 2 John Sefler 2015-02-19 20:36:44 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsmcertd | grep "autoattachInterval"
       rhsmcertd [certInterval autoattachInterval]
       rhsmcertd certInterval autoattachInterval
                              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
                                  ^
                                  ^
                                  ^
To be consistent with the value set in rhsm.conf, it would be better to change "autoattachInterval" to "autoAttachInterval".

[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsm.conf | grep -i "autoattachInterval"
       autoAttachInterval
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# grep -i "autoattachInterval" /etc/rhsm/rhsm.conf
autoAttachInterval=1440
Comment 3 John Sefler 2015-02-19 20:38:07 UTC 
[root@jsefler-os7 ~]# man rhsmcertd | head -1
rhsmcertd(8)                System Manager's Manual               rhsmcertd(8)
                            ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
It would be nicer to change "System" to "Subscription"
Comment 5 John Sefler 2015-02-24 16:24:33 UTC 
Deferring to RHEL6.7 for resolution
