How to process the membership database

Processing the database requires UNIX scripts, which I (Brett Wuth) keep on the PCSAR virtual machine.

Unless you understand UNIX, you're not likely to understand much of this. If you need to get someone else to do this, you'll need to find someone with UNIX or Linux shell skills.

The scripts check for changes in the database, so they keep a running record of the last changes they've seen.

Pending edits

Check my marked up copy of the call out list to see any changes that may be necessary.

Non-monthly processing

These are tasks that aren't done on a regular basis. Some of them haven't been done in long time and their instructions are now out of date.

copy to Brett's laptop

Because the remaining steps don't run on the PCSAR virtual machine yet, the file must be copied to Brett's laptop and run from there.
