Disable channels at runtime

By default, a subscribed channel is enabled if it meets the following conditions:

  1. It is one of the supported channels of a supported SA agent platform.
  2. It has no [<Channel Label>] section the configuration file /etc/opt/opsware/patch_importer/uln_import.conf.
  3. It has a [<Channel Label>] section the configuration file /etc/opt/opsware/patch_importer/uln_import.conf and it has “enabled=1” specified.

    You may disable one or more channels at runtime by using the –D or –disable option. For example,

/opt/opsware/patch_importer/bin/uln_import -D el5_u5_x86_64_patch el5_u5_i386_patch

This option does not permanently disable channels. It merely disables the given channels for this particular run.
