Neat tool - lsofgraph
by Adam Thompson 01 Apr '18

01 Apr '18

(Courtesy Rob Keizer) https://github.com/zevv/lsofgraph Draws a graph of the interconnected pipes, FIFOs and IPC links between running processes on a UNIX system. Examples look really cool, I can think of places I want to use this. But it requires lua. Yes, LUA. So if you happen to have lua installed, or don't mind installing it, here's a really nifty tool! -Adam

MUUG Meeting, Mar 13, 7:30pm -- PostgreSQL, ulimit/limit
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 06 Mar '18

06 Mar '18

The Manitoba UNIX User Group (MUUG) will be holding its next monthly meeting on Tuesday, March 13. The meeting topic for this month is as follows: PostgreSQL: Who, What, Where, When, Why Adam Thompson will talk about the PostgreSQL open-source relational database: who should use it, what's it all about, where do you find it, a little bit of its history, and the rationale behind its current existence. PostgreSQL is the leading OSS RDBMS for non-trivial applications, scales to enterprise and beyond (petascale), and has features that let it compete directly with Oracle. In fact, there's a commercial edition that you can buy specifically to replace Oracle! RTFM: ulimit/limit Gilbert Detillieux will present an RTFM on ulimit(1), as well as the csh/tcsh equivalent, limit(1). This is a shell built-in command for displaying and setting various per-process resource limits, using the setrlimit(2) system call. The group holds its 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. ******************************************************************* Please note our meeting location for this month: *Room 1C16A* Centennial Hall, University of Winnipeg, entrance on Ellice Ave. between Spence St. and Balmoral St. Parking is available on the surrounding streets and in the lots on nearby streets.
