Is there a scheduler option for SUSE RMT and if yes where can I configure it? meaning I want to configure the repositories to be downloaded after hours.
@paul_laubscher Hi, yes it’s done with a systemd timer, see; https://documentation.suse.com/sles/15-SP4/single-html/SLES-rmt/index.html#sec-rmt-mirroring-synchronization
I would stop the timer, then copy the timer and service file over to /etc/systemd/system and modify the timer service as required (as in configure the time you want to run), run systemctl daemon-reload and restart the timer.
Hi Malcolm thanks for replying. Correct me if I am wrong, on my RMT server under systemctl status rmt-server-sync.timer I can see that a sync will be done on Sat 2023-04-22 03:37:02?

@paul_laubscher Hi, yes with a RandomizedDelaySec=9h which will affect when it runs, have a read here to decide if you adjust/remove/tweak etc. https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.timer.html
