I have created a external repo for centos7 but it doesn’t seem to be refreshing on it’s own.

Question: I’m i missing a setting in SUSE manager for the repo to refresh itself ?

If the answer is no then can I run spacewalk-repo-sync in a cron job ? Just wondering if there is a limitation on spacewalk needed to be run interactivity vs background.

Hi  
You should be able to go in and set the schedule for it to run;

Software → Manage Software Channels → Overview

Then under the channel name, select the repository your wanting to schedule, then

Repositories tab → Sync tab and in here select your schedule time etc.
