submit

The submit program allows you to electronically submit you labs to the
instructor to be graded.  Prior to running the program you should have
completed the lab, written the READ.ME file, and placed the lab and
READ.ME file on to your UNIX account.  Then from the UNIX command line
you can submit your files with the following command:

	submit -v course_account labname file(s)

The submit commands parameters are:
	-v:     This tells the submit program to tell you which files
		are being submitted.

	course_account: The course account name (for this class it's
		icsa700).

	labname:        The name that the instructor is using to
		designate the lab.

	file(s):        A list of one or more files that you want to
		submit.  Separate the individual files with spaces.


Example 1:

	If for lab 1 you wanted to submit the code files lab1.C lab1.H
	util.C and util.H, and you also wrote the documentation file 
	README you could submit the two files to the icsa700 account 
	for lab1 with the following command:

		submit -v icsa700 lab1 lab1.C lab1.H util.C util.H README

	Notice that UNIX is case sensitive, so all commands should be
	entered in lowercase, and the file README is not the same as
	the file readme.

IMPORTANT 

The submit command will store all the files you specify in a
single compressed file that uses your user ID as a name.  Any
subsequent calls to submit will DELETE ALL your previously submitted
files, and replace them with the new files you specified.  This means
that you have to submit all the files that you want to be graded with a
single submit command.  If, after you do the submit, you find that you
have to make a change to any of the submitted files, you must re-submit
ALL the files.

cksubmit 

The cksubmit program allows students to verify the contents of
a previously-submitted assignment.  The output from cksubmit is a list
of all files submitted to course_account as assignment labname. The -v
argument causes the list of files to contain, in addition to file
names, the sizes and modification times for each entry in the archive.
The -x argument causes cksubmit to extract a copy of all submitted
files into the current directory, allowing the submitter to verify that
the submitted files are, indeed, what was intended (e.g., that all
source files were submitted for a programming assignment.)  Note that
this option is best used in a directory other than the original source
directory if verification is intended.  The -x option implies -v.

		cksubmit -v course_account labname

Example 2:

	Now suppose the student from example 1 wants to check to make
	sure the instructor received all the desired files for lab1.
	He could get a list of the files with the following cksubmit
	command:

		cksubmit icsa700 lab1

	Which would produce the output:

		lab1.C 
		lab1.H 
		util.C 
		util.H
		README

	If the student is still not satisfied, he can execute the
	commands:

		cd otherdir

		cksubmit -x icsa700 lab1

	To extract a copy of the files in another directory, and can go
	on to recompile the program to verify that all components are
	present in the submitted version.
