Getting a Computer Account:
It is a requirement of this course that all students have a CATS
(Communications and Technology Services) computer account. CATS
provides
detailed
instructions on how to apply for an account online, as well as a
number
of help pages
to
get you started. You should begin by reading Getting
Started on Unix on the CATS website. Also see the Instructional Computing website
for more helpful information.
Submitting
a Lab Assignment On-Line:
Logon to your CATS account, do your assignment, then type the following
at the Unix prompt (%):
% submit cmps010-pt.f03 assignment_name file1 file2 ...In the above example "assignment_name" will be replaced by the actual assignment name, such as lab1, lab2, lab3 etc. Some assignments will require that you submit just one file, in which case "file1" is replaced by the name of that file, with nothing else on the line. Other assignments will require multiple files. In this case just list the file names on the command line as above. As with all Unix commands, the submit command is executed when you hit the return key. If you decide that you don't like what you submitted and want to submit a better version of the assignment (before the due date of course), just submit again using the same file name. The new submission overwrites the old.
To verify that an assignment was accepted by the system, and to check what was actually submitted, use the peek command:
% peek cmps010-pt.f03 assignment_nameYou'll get a listing of all files which have been submitted for that assignment with the option of viewing the contents of each file. If you just want to check and see if you are using the submit and peek commands correctly, submit some dummy file with assignment_name replaced by test. For example
% submit cmps010-pt.f03 test dummy_fileFiles submitted in this way will not be graded or even looked at. This is just a way for you to test the process.
