.SS AUTO-ATTACH OPTIONS
The
.B auto-attach
command sets whether the ability to check, attach, and update subscriptions occurs automatically on the system. Auto-attaching subscriptions checks the currently-installed products, attached subscriptions, and any changes in available subscriptions every four hours using the \fBrhsmcertd\fP daemon.

.TP
.B --enable
Enables the auto-attach option for the system. If there is any change in the subscriptions for the system, any subscriptions expire, or any new products are installed, then \fBsubscription-manager\fP detects the changes and automatically attaches the appropriate subscriptions so that the system remains covered.

.TP
.B --disable
Disables the auto-attach option for the system. If auto-attach is disabled, then any changes in installed products or subscriptions for the system (including expired subscriptions) must be addressed manually by the administrator.
