Hello @MadeInGermany,

Apologies for not responding sooner to your helpful reply.

Here are some details of the Red Hat server I'm using:
Code:
$ uname -sr
Linux 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64

Code:
$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 4.2.46(2)-release (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)

I'm trying my hand at this script again. I've used your suggestion:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
for server in server1 server2
do
  ssh -x "$server" '
    echo "hello I am on `hostname`"
    sudo yum update infolist
  ' 2> >(sed "1i\\
$server:" >&3)
done 3>stderr

I can successfully login to a server and I receive the echo that says "hello I am on 'hostname'" so the script is working and gives me this detail back. But I don't receive any other data back after running this script against my test server? Would this be the result if rpmdb open failed wasn't occuring on this test server? What I mean is...will the above script only show if rpmdb open failed exists and if it doesn't the script returns nothing back?

Thank you.

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
