Hi everyone

Next meeting announcement:

Topic is guru tricks, aimed at sysadmins, and covering a bunch of little tools and things that can make your work faster and more productive.

If you have a few of the tricks please then also share them at the meeting. Ideally also respond to this, with a few details as to what you have to share.

Meeting will be at OSS,  level 1, 162 Grafton road, on the 3rd of June, which is a Monday.  Time: 7pm.

I have tricks on using screen, script,  konsole,  bash,  git,  ssh, vim  just to name a few.   Hopefully,  out of the meeting,  everyone well learn something cool and helpful to them and at least some of us will have tricks to share.

I'll send out a reminder closer to time.

Regards,
Glen Ogilvie

Some of my favourite tools are iptraf, lsof, strace/ptrace and stats tools like vmstat, iostat, top, etc.

iperf - Can be used to see if there are any bottlenecks in the network
dig -tAXFR mycompany.com - Get all dns records from dns server
diff -rq folder1 folder2 - Show difference between two folders

Just a couple of commands I have found useful at work.

Also I can give a quick overview of gitlab if people are interested. (Maybe out of scope?)

tmux needs to be in there somewhere, though I probably won't be able to make it to talk about it myself.
Also, alternate shells, shell aliases, that kind of thing (personally I use zsh, and a huge list of aliases and other config options)

Glen, do you mind fact checking the OSS details as I've copied them
from previous announcements?

Corrections, additions, etc. can be submitted through the usual channels.

Facts are all good on the website.

Looks like we have a few people that might be able to talk about some other great tools too.

oh bother.   I didn't realise it was Queens Birthday..  I didn't even think to check.

So, we should move it to Tuesday, 04/06/13, to make it match our described date, of first working day of the month.
