The purpose of the makeallgrade Bourne shell script is to
create a Bourne shell script (default name allgrade)
that you can use to send a grade
email message to each member of your class.
The makeallgrade script uses the namelist file
required by the submit program to create the
allgrade
shell script.
The
allgrade
script preserves student privacy, since each student receives
only
her or his own grade information.
Only the student's email address appears in the To:
line of the message.
Usage: makeallgrade [ -f scriptname ] name_list_file
'scriptname' is the name of the script to be produced
default is "allgrade"
'name_list_file' is a file containing student e-mail addresses and
names, one per line. Each line is expected to be of the form
login_id email_address Name
turing aturing@erols.com Alan Mathison Turing
Everything after the e-mail address is treated as the last name
The first line of the namelist file is used for the class title
allgrade script
mailgrades script greps the ASCII version
of the grades spreadsheet to assemble the grade message sent.
The mailgrades script keys on the GRADEFILE environment
variable.
If it is set, then that is the name of the grade file that will be
grepped.
Otherwise, the default name grade.sc.asc (created
by the Wsc spreadsheet) is used.
allgrade script produced
Sendgrades script is used to send the latest grade
information to a single student.
The Sendgrades script greps the allgrade
script for some fragment of the student's name
to find the student's line of the mailgrades file, then
executes that line.
Usage: sendgrades [options] "fragment of a student's name" sends grade mail to one student by grep-ing for the name fragment in the gradescript file allgrade, then executing the matching line. The grep will find the FIRST occurrence of the name fragment Options: -d debug, don't actually send the grade mail -s scriptname use 'scriptname' instead of allgrade -m msgfname insert 'msgfname' into the grade message
showgrades script greps the GRADEFILE file just
like sendgrades does, but directs the output to the
terminal screen instead of sending email.
