Submit Directory Setup
The submit command allows students to submit their labtest work for marking. However, its setup for labtest mode differs from the standard everyday submit setup. In order to setup lab submission for labtest, you must complete the following steps:
1. Create and set permissions on a “submit” directory in your course directory:
mkdir /cs/course/1020/submit chmod 755 /cs/course/1020/submit
2. Create a lab submission directory inside the “submit” directory and set permissions accordingly:
mkdir /cs/course/1020/submit/lab1 chmod 770 /cs/course/1020/submit/lab1 chgrp labtest /cs/course/1020/submit/lab1
The most important point on this page is that the submit directory must be group “labtest” and not group “submit”.
Now, students can submit their work like this:
submit 2021 lab1 <file1> <file2> <file3>
-OR-
submit 2021 lab1 <dir1>
Note: During any LabTest session, a student may submit files into ANY labtest directory that has permissions left open for submission. Close the submit permissions at the end of your labtest to ensure that students cannot continue to submit. Always check the date and time of submissions very carefully.
