Hi there,  
i’m struggling setting up a command line script for creating and updating configuration channels.  
i was able to create a channel - however when trying to update the init.sls i just don’t get it.

I found the command  
spacecmd configchannel\_updateinitsls  
which in my opinion should do the job … but whatever i try - i don’t get it working ☹

i always get the error message:  
ERROR: You must provide the file contents

unfortunately it seems there is no documentation available for this command

basically i’m trying in different formats  
spacecmd configchannel\_updateinitsls \< channel \> \< filename \>  
but neither combination works ☹

all that i want is to upload a given init.sls into an existing (or to be created) config-channel

If someone got this working please reply 🙂  
i’m using SUSE Manager v4.0.6

Thank you,  
Andreas
