Recitation 1 should be submitted for practice following directions at: submissions with deadlines 2012-09-03 23:59:59 (that's Mon, 3 Sep 2012, 11:59:59 pm) for full credit. 2012-09-07 23:59:59 (that's Fri, 7 Sep 2012, 11:59:59 pm) for 75% credit.

Overview: This recitation is not for credit, but is just for you to practice the submission process. You should submit any short text file you like (but please short and not in bad taste). The system will email the file you submitted back to you as confirmation, so you will know that the submission process seems to be working. You do not send an email to me, but instead execute the following command inside a terminal window while logged into a Linux machine using your own account:


% ~wagner/bin/cs3343r1 < rec1.txt

Here % is the Unix prompt and rec1.txt is your short file, in the same directory as your current directory. The name doesn't have to be "rec1.txt", but it should end in ".txt".

The above applies in case you created your file at UTSA in the Linux environment. In case you create your file at UTSA in the Windows environment (which is fine for this course), you need to save this file somewhere on the "Z" drive on the machine. (The top level of the Z drive is the same as the home directory in your file system under Linux.) The conceptually simplest way to proceed from here is to logon to a Linux machine, open a terminal window, cd to the directory where you saved your file, and proceed from there as above.

A simpler method to submit from Windows is to do a secure shell to a Linux machine (using, say, "elk02.cs.utsa.edu" as the machine, your CS account name as the account name, and your password as the password. (Also answer the question with "Yes" if one is posed.) Now this looks just like the terminal window above, so you can proceed as above.

The above method also works from a remote Windows machine (where you would have to download the secure shell program), or from a remote Linux or Mac machine (Macs always have ssh and sftp.) For a page illustrating the use of ssh and sftp from a remote Linux or Mac machine see remote access using ssh .

Due dates for this practice submission: The first (full-credit) due date may already be in the past by the time you read this, but that's part of the practice. The final (part-credit) due date is this Friday. Again, this is for practice and not for any credit.

What you should submit: Refer to the submissions directions and to deadlines at the top of this page. The text file that you submit should first have Your Name, the CS3343, Fall 2012, and Recitation 1. The rest of the file is any short text file at all.
