CS Moons Unix Environment
|
Due: September 11
|
Objectives
In this course you will be developing an interpreter for a high-level
language.
You will do this development in stages, all on the moon servers, which are the UNIX systems
administered by the Department of Computer Science.
In this lab you will get started working on the moons to be sure that you do not encounter
system and account hurdles when you start working on your first assignment.
- Computer Science students: the content of this lab should been covered in cps393
and should be mostly trivial, but some of you may be rusty if you have not continued using
the moons after taking cps393.
- Engineering students: Since UNIX is covered in your curriculum, you should not
find this lab difficult either. However, you need to set up your development environment for
this course: your faculty runs a UNIX environment similar to the moons, but because
this is a CPS course, you will be using the Computer Science environment, and not the engineering
environment. You need to organize your development environment to work on the moons.
Lab
You can do this lab on your own or during one of the lab periods in the first week of classes.
If you think that you will need any assistance either with your account or the
technology, which is likely to be the case if you have not logged in to the moons recently,
please attend one of the labs because the course TA and system administrators will be able
to assist you. The labs are scheduled on:
- Mondays 11-12 in ENG201
- Thursdays 5-6 in ENG206
- Fridays 12-1 in ENG203
Here is what you have to do for this lab:
- Please review the
System Information for the Moons Servers
- Login to the moons. If you are doing this lab using the computers in on the CS labs,
please use MobaXterm, which is installed there. If you are using your own computer
be sure to install an SSH client to do so.
- You will now run the UNIX "finger" command on yourself and save the output in a file called "name".
Here is the UNIX command to do so, where userid is the userid you logged into the moons with.
finger userid > name
finger is a useful UNIX utility. If you've never used it before, check it out by typing:
man finger
- Submit the "name" file you just created in step 3.
The submission process is explained in
Submission of Course Work page
in the section called "Submission Process".
You only need to submit one file in this lab, so you can skip the zipping stage.
Simply put, all you have to do is to type:
submit-cps710 name
The submission information page explains how you can check that your file has been properly submitted
if you want to do so.
- If you did all this work in the CS labs, you should also install an SSH client
like MobaXterm on your own system so that you can work remotely
on the assignments in this course.
That's it for this lab! You now know how to use your moons account, login to it, submit work,
and you have organized the technology you will need to develop the assignments in the course.
You've also given us your name, which is information we will need to properly record your grades
for the assignments you will submit on the moons in this course. Thank you.
