The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, October 8. The meeting topic for this month is as follows:

Xataface

This month Brad Vokey will (attempt to) give a demonstration of Xataface: an open-source, full-featured, web application framework for building front-ends to MySQL databases. Xataface auto-magically generates web forms, lists, menus, and more, so that non-technical end users can interact with MySQL databases safely and effectively using an easy to build custom web application.

For this month's RTFM, Gilbert Detillieux will talk about the trap(1p) command, used for signal handling in Bourne shell scripts. Proper use of "trap" is important in coding scripts that clean up after themselves.

The group holds its general meetings at 7:30pm on the second Tuesday of every month from September to June. (There are no meetings in July and August.) Meetings are open to the general public; you don't have to be a MUUG member to attend.
