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.

WANTED! Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350
by Trevor Cordes 07 Feb '18

07 Feb '18

Have an old Hauppauge PVR-150/250/350 (PCI card) you aren't using and want to get rid of it easily? I'll buy it! I'll come pick it up. I need it soon, so email me privately if interested, leave me a text # too if you can. Also let me know a price if you can. I figure someone in the club must have dabbled in MythTV or similar years back and doesn't anymore. Note, must be one of the models above, as none of the others will suit my application. Well, unless you have an HDMI->component + HD-PVR combo laying around. Thanks!

RTFM, UNIX v5-style (ca. 1974)
by Gilbert E. Detillieux 01 Feb '18

01 Feb '18

Packed with a whopping 81 UNIX commands, here's the complete set of man pages for UNIX v5... http://www.tuhs.org/Archive/Distributions/Research/Dennis_v5/v5man.pdf Worth having a look: chmod (page 39) - Yeah, octal modes are a pain!... dc (page 49) - What, no bc?... Nah, learn RPN, ya wimp! diff (page 52) - "Jackpot!"?... Yup, I've seen it for myself. goto (page 67) - Now you know the origin of the ':' command. if (page 69) - Primitive flow control, pre-csh/Bourne shells. shift (page 104) - Example of a shell script using the above. tee (page 113) - "pipe fitting",... Yup, very descriptive. Ah, the good ol' days... Gilbert -- Manitoba UNIX User Group E-mail: <gedetil(a)muug.ca> c/o Gilbert E.
