Using the Homework Submission Program

You can also use hsp to make sure your submission has been successful. Again, just type "hsp" and follow the instructions to receive a list of all your submissions in the same form used by the "ls -l" command.

An Example

Notes

• You can use command line arguments to submit a file by typing, for example, "hsp ondich cs117 kudu.cpp". In this case, you won't be prompted for instructor or class or file.
• You can use command line arguments to check your submissions by typing, for example, "hsp ondich cs117 -check".
• The professor and course number are case insensitive, so "OnDiCh" and "cS117" will work as well as the less flamboyantly capitalized versions shown above.
• The command name and the file name are case sensitive, so you must type "hsp" without capital letters, and your file name must be the exact file name.
• The "cs" in "cs117" is essential.
• You may submit an entire directory by typing the name of the directory in place of a file name.
• Once you have submitted a file with a particular name, you cannot submit another file of that same name. If you want to submit a second or a third version of "kudu.cpp", just call them "kudu2.cpp" and "kudu3.cpp".
• If you misspell the name of the professor or the class or otherwise make a mistake, hsp will prompt you with a list of professors and classes to choose from.
