-----
-===== Install Spacecmd =====
-  * Add spacewalk client repo
-    * CentOS 6<code bash>rpm -Uvh http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.4-client/RHEL/6/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.4-3.el6.noarch.rpm</code>
-    * CentOS 7<code bash>rpm -Uvh http://yum.spacewalkproject.org/2.4-client/RHEL/7/x86_64/spacewalk-client-repo-2.4-3.el7.noarch.rpm</code>

-    * <code bash>yum install spacecmd</code>
-----
-===== Spacecmd Config File =====
-Setting up the spacecmd config file greatly shortens the command, as you do not have to specify server, username, and password each time.
-Create the file ~/.spacecmd/config
-<code bash>
-mkdir ~/.spacecmd
-chmod 700 ~/.spacecmd
-touch ~/.spacecmd/config
-chmod 600 ~/.spacecmd/config
-</code>
-Edit the file
-<code bash>
-vim ~/.spacecmd/config
-[spacecmd]
-server=spacewalkserver.mydomain.com
-username=usernamehere
-password=passwordhere
-</code>
-Verify configuration by testing connectivity
-<code bash>
-spacecmd
-</code>
-----
-===== Useful Alias =====
-It is also useful to create the following alias in your ~/.bashrc file
-<code bash>
-alias spacecmd='spacecmd -q'
-</code>
-This will always execute spacecmd with the quiet option. This will not show logging into the server info, which just gets in the way if you are trying to pipe output to other commands.
-----
-===== Clear Caches =====
-Spacecmd creates a local cache of system queries to improve performance. This can leave you with outdated information when working at the CLI in some situations.
