Submit Usage

We will be using DoIT project submission system for submission of projects[3..6] for this course. The submit system exposes the following set of commands available on GL, that allows you to submit files electronically for grading. The submit commands available on GL are:

    * submit <course> <project> <file(s)> — submit assignments
    * submitls <course> <project> — lists files that you have submitted
    * submitrm <course> <project> <file(s)> — removes files that you have submitted

For this class the value of course will always be “cs461”, so all commands will start with “submit cs461”.

submit

The submit <course> <project> <file(s)> command is used to submit files. You can specify 1 file at a time, or multiple files at a time.

linux3[2]% submit cs461 proj0 foo.txt
Submitting foo.txt...OK
linux3[3]% submit cs461 proj0 bar.txt baz.txt
Submitting bar.txt...OK
Submitting baz.txt...OK
linux3[4]%


linux3[4]% submit cs461 test foo.txt
It seems you have already submitted a file named foo.txt.
Do you wish to overwrite? (y/n):
y
Submitting foo.txt...OK
linux3[5]%

submitls

You can check and see what files you have submitted using the submitls <course> <project> command.

linux3[5]% submitls cs461 proj0

drwx------   78 dg9   rpc          4096 Oct 8 15:55 ..
-rw-------    1 dg9   rpc             0 Oct 8 16:04 bar.txt
-rw-------    1 dg9   rpc             0 Oct 8 16:04 baz.txt
-rw-------    1 dg9   rpc             0 Oct 8 16:04 foo.txt
linux3[6]%

submitrm

If you accidentally submit a wrong file or you no longer need a file that is submitted, you can remove files using the submitrm <course> <project> <file(s)> command. Take note that when you do a submitrm, the file that you submitted is most likely gone for good and unable to be recovered.

linux3[5]% submitls cs461 proj0
total 8
drwx------    2 dg9   rpc          2048 Oct 8 16:04 .

-rw-------    1 dg9   rpc             0 Oct 8 16:04 baz.txt
-rw-------    1 dg9   rpc             0 Oct 8 16:04 foo.txt
linux3[6]% submitrm cs461 proj0 baz.txt
Deleting baz.txt

Test Submission

To verify that everything is setup okay issue the following commands. Be sure to verify that you see the “Submitting testfile…OK” line. Also make sure that it actually shows up when using the submitls command.

linux3[1]% touch testfile
linux3[2]% submit cs461 proj0 testfile
Submitting testfile...OK
linux3[3]% submitls cs461 proj0
total 6
