There is no Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.0, the most current is 5.5 (March 2010 I think). I think you mean Red Hat Linux 9.0, which is dated from 2003. And over the course of 7 years a lot of things are bound to change, not only commands, but filesystem layouts, file formats, ... too. Most of the tools you've mentioned, however, have a common set of options and behaviour across platforms. If you're using GNU specific options, better look over the man pages for the commands and check for differences.

NAME
rhn_check - check for queued actions on RHN and execute them
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/rhn_check [-v] [--verbose]
DESCRIPTION
rhn_check is a client program that connects to the Red Hat Network backend servers and retrieves information associated with the queued
actions for this particular system. This script reads the digital server ID from /etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid and uses that to identify the
machine to the Red Hat Network. Upon successfull authentication, rhn_check will start processing the queued actions sequentially.
ACTION TYPES
The following types of actions are currently processed by rhn_check:
action type description
() ()
refresh This action will refresh the hardware or software profiles of this
machine with Red Hat Network. This fucntion is called as
refresh(hardware) or refresh(rpmlist)
new_systemid This action is used by the RHn Backend to update the Digital
system ID of this machine with a new one.
update_packages This action will trigger rhn_check into running a package
update for a list of packages queued from the Red Hat Network.
rhn_check will use modules from the up2date client to download
the packages, solve dependencies and install the on the system.
FILES
/etc/sysconfig/rhn/systemid The digital server ID for this machine if the system has been registered onto Red Hat Network. This file does
not exist otherwise.
