CS 318 - Handing In Your Code

How to Handin

For the MPs, we will be using the electronic handin program. However, this program runs only on the Sun Sparcs, NOT on the WindowsNT machines. So, to handin your code, do the following:
  1. If you are on the WindowsNT machines, telnet to one of the Sun Sparcs.
    1. SimpTerm is provided for you on the NT boxes, since it is a better telnet client than the one bundled with Windows. If you prefer the Windows telnet client, go to the Start menu, select Run..., and type telnet.
    2. Connect to one of the Sparcs. Valid machine names are:
      • csil-suna[1-48].cs.uiuc.edu
      • csil-sunb[1-40].cs.uiuc.edu
  2. Navigate to where your mp#.c source file is located.
  3. Type "handin cs318 mp# mp#.c" where # is the number of the MP.
  4. You can safely ignore the "No such group name: ta318" message. This is due to the way class accounts use to be set up. It has no effect on your successfully handing in your program.
  5. A file named handin#.log will be generated in the same directory. This file will contain approximately 10 lines indicating the time that your code was handed in. Note that we do NOT have handin compile or execute your code since we need to see the graphical output.

Troubleshooting

For more information about the handin program and its related programs, see the man pages for handin and handin-intro on the Sun Sparcs.

If you get an error message that the program could not be located, try typing the full path as in:

/usr/local/bin/handin cs318 mp1 mp1.c

No Late MPs

Late MPs will not be accepted!

If you are sick or hampered by a substantial problem beyond your control, you must let one of the TAs know AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE the assignment is due, if you expect to get any sort of an extension. This is usually done by e-mail, since the TAs may not be reachable by telephone at certain times of the day. The handin program is automatic and will not accept MPs after the due date/time.
