Introduction

CSE developed the CSE submit script to enable students to submit project coursework to their instructors.

Usage

Example

1. Simple example to submit the file foo.txt to the repository for CSE 341.

timberlake % /util/bin/submit_cse341 foo.txt
Submission of "foo.txt" successful.
   

Notes

1. The submit command cannot handle whitespace in filenames. If the file you're trying to submit contains whitespace, you'll get an error like this:

   
   % /util/bin/submit_cse562 Solution\ 3.pdf
   /util/bin/submit_cse562: Solution 3.pdf: submission failed - please report problem.
   
   

   Recommendation: Replace all instances of whitespace with underscores.

2. The submit command cannot submit nonexistent files. If submit returns a "can't stat file" error, it means that the file(s) you're trying to submit do not exist in the directory you've specified:

   
   % ls -al foo.txt
   ls: foo.txt: No such file or directory
   % submit_cse115 foo.txt
   submit_cse115: foo.txt: can't stat file.
   
   

3. For instructions describing how to create a tape archive (tar) file that contains your source files, see the 'Archiving Files (tar)' page, below.
