CMSC 202 Project 0

Using the Submit System

Posted: February 2, 2004
Due: Before Project 1

Objective

To make sure you know how to submit files using the submit program
To make sure that the course staff has made an area available to each of you to hold your project files

Explanation

You will be submitting all of your projects using the submit program. For Project 0, it doesn't matter what you submit, so to save space, you will create an empty file and submit it.

The Task

At the Linux prompt, give the following two commands:

touch Proj0.cpp
submit cs202 Proj0 Proj0.cpp

The command touch Proj0.cpp creates an empty file called Proj0.cpp. The submit command has four parts: the word submit, followed by the class name (cs202), followed by the name of the project (note uppercase P), followed by the name of the file(s) to be submitted.

After entering these commands, you should get a confirmation that submit worked okay. Specifically, the confirmation will say:
Submitting Proj0.cpp...OK

If not, send an e-mail to Mr. Frey about the problem. In the e-mail, list the section of CMSC 202 in which you are enrolled. Please cut and paste the command you typed and the error message that was displayed into your message.

You can check your submission by entering submitls cs202 Proj0
You should see the name of the file that you just submitted -- in this case, Proj0.cpp.

Grading

Although this project carries no points and does not count toward your grade, you must do this project. If you do not do the project, you will get no mercy if you cannot submit future projects.
