Project 0: Submitting a File Electronically
Purpose
This project introduces you to the submit program and ensures that
you can submit your later ("real") projects.
Due Date
This project is due midnight Friday, 4 February 2000. Note that this means
before 23:59:59 on Friday evening.
The sole purpose of this project is to test your ability to submit
projects. You don't have to do this project - and will get no
credit for doing it. If you don't do it and later have trouble
submitting a "real" project, no mercy!
Your task is to submit a small file. If you can do it, relax.
If you can't do it, please send mail here
from your gl account. Please include a description of what went wrong
when you tried to submit.
Here's how to submit a small file.
- Choose a filename that does not exist on your gl account.
Let's say it's
proj0.foo
- Create an empty file of that name by doing:
<![CDATA[
touch proj0.foo
]]>
- Submit that file by doing:
<![CDATA[
submit cs202 proj0 proj0.foo
]]>
You should get a friendly message stating that the file was submitted ok.
Related commands: submit, submitls, and submitrm
As you can see, submit is used for submitting files for a project. The
formal syntax is:
<![CDATA[
/usr/local/bin/submit <class> <project> <filename>+
]]>
After you submit you can view a list of the submitted files (at any time)
by calling submitls:
<![CDATA[
/usr/local/bin/submitls <class> <project>
]]>
If you've submitted some files by accident and want to "unsubmit" them, you
can do that too. Just run submitrm:
<![CDATA[
/usr/local/bin/submitrm <class> <project> <filename>+
]]>
