Using Turnin

Submission
Use the command turnin to submit your project. Its usage is:
turnin -submit <grader> <project-name> <file1>  <file2>...

For this course the grader is theshark.
You will use standard project names of the following form for every project where you have to use turnin: assignment1 for the first assignment, project1 for the first full game project, etc.

Whenever you submit a file, it gets timestamped. These timestamps are used to determine whether the project is on time or not.

Confirmation
You can see whether the submission was successful or not by giving the command:
turnin -list <grader>  <project-name>
This should show the list of files that got submitted.

Example
If you want to submit the files: README, executable, and  executable.tar.gz for the assignment assignment1 and grader theshark then give the following command:

turnin -submit theshark assignment1 README executable executable.tar.gz

Note that each file in the list can be either an ordinary file or a directory.

You need not submit the files all at once; you may use the command repeatedly to submit different files.

To confirm, type:
turnin -list theshark assignment1

Caution
If you submit a file a second time, then the previous file and its time stamp will get over-written.
Once submitted, you can't undo your submission (although you can overwrite any file).
