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 Wednesday, 20 September 2000. Note that this means
before 23:59:59.
The sole purpose of this project is to test your ability to submit
projects. 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>+
]]>
