Using the datsubmit command
===========================

The datsubmit command is available only on the Course Linux Server.
On ACADUNIX, a different command line is used.

Example of using datsubmit:

    $ datsubmit 5 file1.txt file2.sh file3.out

The datsubmit command submits a set of files for marking.  Whatever you
hand to datsubmit becomes a candidate for being marked, if you submit it
before the last cut-off date.  Submissions made after the last cut-off
date are not marked.

You can see a list of options for datsubmit by using its name and giving
no file names.  It can generate a list of all your submissions.

If the submission is on time, whatever you submit using datsubmit
becomes the current marking candidate submission.  I ignore the previous
submission and I mark only the file(s) in the new submssion.

If you are required to submit three files for an exercise, you must
always submit all three files using one datsubmit command line.  If you
submit two files, and then submit a third file, on time, a minute later
or a day later, the later submission is the only one I mark (and it is
missing two files!).

Always submit *all* your exercise files (and *only* your exercise files)
using one datsubmit command line.  I only mark the latest submission
that arrives before the last cut-off date.

You can see other options to the datsubmit command by typing "datsubmit"
with no arguments.

If you use datsubmit to delete your submission, the previous
submission becomes the current submission.  You may need to use
several datsubmit commands to delete all your submissions for a
particular exercise.
