Submit script

The submit script is a program used on UNLV CS servers for students to submit assignments to instructors. It is more common to use it in required introductory CS courses such as CS 135, although not every instructor uses it. Be sure to follow the policies as provided by your instructor in class and on the syllabus.

To use the submit script:

• SSH to bobby.cs.unlv.edu and log in
• Navigate to the directory your file is located in
• Make sure your program compiles, is documented, and is tested
• Type the following: submit filename XX instructor
  • filename is the name of your file (e.g. asst1.cpp)
  • XX is the assignment code and can range from 01 to 30, inclusive (note: the leading 0 is important -- 04 is correct, 4 is not correct)
  • instructor is the login name of your instructor -- you can see a current list of instructors and usage tips by typing submit without any other text

If you need a reminder on how to use submit, typing submit alone on bobby will show a brief syntax description.

Things to note:

• You should only submit .cpp or .tar files
• Your file is time-stamped and the instructor will download all student submitted files at once by specifying the assignment number and the last time-stamp to accept
  • If your submission is due by 11:59 PM, you submit it at 12:03 AM, and your instructor downloads all submissions that are no later than 11:59 PM then your instructor will not get your submission
  • If your submission is for assignment 05 but you submit it with assignment code 06, your instructor will not get your submission
• You may submit as many times as you like, only the last submission prior to the deadline is downloaded by the instructor
• The name of the file you submit does not matter -- when an instructor downloads your submission your file is renamed
