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 2013-07-11 16:35:38 UTC 
Description of problem:

Current description...

[root@jsefler-5 ~]# subscription-manager --help | grep auto-attach
  auto-attach    Set if this system runs auto-attach each check-in

[root@jsefler-5 ~]# subscription-manager auto-attach --help | grep Usage -A2
Usage: subscription-manager auto-attach [OPTIONS]

Set if this system runs auto-attach each check-in


I would like to improve the description "Set if this system runs auto-attach each check-in".   How about one of these...

A. Set the preference for automatically attaching subscriptions at each rhsmcertd interval check
B. Set the preference for automatically attaching subscriptions
C. Enable the preference for automatic subscription attachment at each check of rhsmcertd.autoAttachInterval
D. Enable the preference for automatic subscription attachment
E. Set the preference for auto-attaching subscriptions at each rhsmcertd.autoAttachInterval


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
[root@jsefler-5 ~]# rpm -q subscription-manager
subscription-manager-1.8.13-1.git.1.ba56998.el5
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2013-07-11 16:47:28 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion
in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.  Product Management has
requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for
potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux release for currently
deployed products.  This request is not yet committed for inclusion in
a release.
Comment 2 Matt Reid 2013-07-11 20:24:06 UTC 
Of those, I like B the most, but we might be able to give more context.

How about something like:
1. Set if auto-attach is run on a schedule (default of daily)
2. Set if subscriptions are attached on a schedule (default of daily)

might be too much information to include where to edit it, or at least would take us from fitting on one line in the terminal to two, but it's an interesting thought. Not sure if saying rhsmcertd or rhscertd.autoAttachInterval would make them realize they could edit it in the config module, or if we'd want to point them to rhsm.conf.
Comment 3 Matt Reid 2013-07-12 13:59:41 UTC 
We should probably update the GUI string we currently have to be more in line with what we update the CLI to be.

GUI currently reads:
If enabled, your system will try to attach subscriptions for any uncovered products each check-in

Maybe update the GUI to:
If enabled, subscriptions are attached for any uncovered products on a schedule (default of daily).

We have a little more room in the GUI, so I'd like to add in the extra context of 'uncovered products' if possible, vs the CLI string.
Comment 4 Bryan Kearney 2013-07-17 17:28:31 UTC 
Strint change, moving to RHEL 6.5.
