========================================== Using the datsubmit and netsubmit commands ========================================== -Ian! D. Allen - idallen@idallen.ca The datsubmit and netsubmit commands are available on both the Course Linux Server and on ACADUNIX, though they are kept in different locations. The datsubmit command is for DAT courses (e.g. DAT2330). The netsubmit command is for NET courses (e.g. NET2003). On the Course Linux Server, the datsubmit and netsubmit command names can be typed at any shell prompt; they are in the standard search path. On ACADUNIX, you must type this longer command name: ~alleni/bin/datsubmit Example of using datsubmit or netsubmit: $ datsubmit 5 file1.txt file2.sh file3.out $ ~alleni/bin/datsubmit 5 file1.txt file2.sh file3.out $ netsubmit 5 file1.txt file2.sh file3.out $ datsubmit -list $ ~alleni/bin/datsubmit -list $ netsubmit -list $ datsubmit -help $ ~alleni/bin/datsubmit -help $ netsubmit -help The submit command submits a set of files for marking. Whatever you hand to submit 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 submit by using its name and giving no file names. With options, you can see a list of all your submissions. If the submission is on time, whatever you submit using submit becomes the current marking candidate submission. I ignore the previous submission and I mark only the file(s) in the new submission. If you are required to submit three files for an exercise, you must always submit all three files using one submit command line. If you submit two files, and then submit a third file, on time, a minute later or a day later, the one-file later submission is the only one I find and mark (and it is missing two files!). Always submit *all* your exercise files (and *only* your exercise files) using one submit command line. I only mark the latest submission that arrives before the last cut-off date. You can see other options to the submit command by typing the command name with no arguments. If you use submit to delete your submission, the previous submission becomes the current submission. You may need to use several submit delete commands to delete all your submissions for a particular exercise. Always keep a personal copy of anything you submit.
