Resolution

  1. To check whether osad service status:

    # service osad status

  2. To check status of the s2s, c2s & other required programs.
    This can be checked from satellite by executing:

    # service jabberd status
router (pid 32562) is running...
sm (pid 32570) is running...
c2s (pid 32577) is running...
s2s (pid 32584) is running...

# rhn-satellite status

    # osad -vvv
