6.3.1. Synchronizing Errata and Packages Directly via RHN
For customers who want to sync data as frequently as possible and who can initiate connections outside of their own environments, the satellite sync can be run over the Internet through SSL. This is the default setting for the satellite sync script. For example:
satellite-sync -c rhel-i386-as-3
This connects to central Red Hat Network Servers and performs the process described above. Multiple channels can be included by repeating the option. If no channels are specified, all channels on the Satellite will be refreshed.
