Turning in CS351 Homework
The following instructions tell you how to submit homework assignments.
Using the turnin program
To submit your assignments, use the turnin program from a command prompt on the
Linux or Sun machines to submit files or entire directories to the TA.
Example:
turnin -submit xf cs351 filename
Notes:
- Turnin is located in /p/bin; if that directory is not in your path,
then call it as /p/bin/turnin.
- There is a bug that may or may not have been fixed yet: if a
command line has more than 255 characters after filename expansion,
some files may go unsubmitted. If you are submitting a lot of files
(which is unlikely), you should submit them in small batches or as a
single tar file.
- If you submit the same filename twice, the second one will entirely
overwrite the first one. So don't submit any updates after the due
date, or we will never know that you submitted the first version on
time.
- After submitting everything, you should make sure that all of your
files were transmitted properly using turnin's list feature:
turnin -list xf cs351
- See the man page turnin(1) for more details:
man -M /p/man turnin
