Sample Submit

This assignment can be done during your first lab.

You will be turning in all of your homeworks and projects using the linux submit command. This assignment is a test of submit to make sure we have eveything set up correctly to accept your homeworks and projects. If you manage to submit a file now, you will have no problem submitting in the future.

• You must be logged into your account.
• You must be in the same directory as the file you're trying to submit, so change to your 201 directory.
• At the Linux prompt, type

  submit cs201 HW0 original.py

The submit command has four parts. The word submit, followed by the class, followed by the name of the assignment (note uppercase HW0), followed by the name(s) of the file(s) to be submitted. You must be in the same directory as the files you are submitting for the submit command to work properly. The submit command does produce error messages if the command fails and confirmation if the command works properly.

After entering the submit command shown above, you should get a confirmation that submit worked correctly. Specifically, the confirmation will say:

Submitting original.py...OK

If not, check your spelling and that you have included each of the required parts and try again.

If you're in your discussion section, ask your TA what you've typed incorrectly.

If you believe that you have typed everything correctly and the submit command fails again, then send Mrs. Evans an email (bogar@cs.umbc.edu) about the problem. In this email, please show exactly what you typed in and the exact message that was displayed. We'll be able to fix submit problems quickly.

You can check your submission by entering
submitls cs201 HW0
You should see the name of the file that you just submitted, in this case, original.py.
