Unit Directories

All Computer Science units at UNE have a unit directory. In these directories you will find unit notices, unit notes and other documents, assignment answers and questions, and other useful information. It is extremely important that you access your unit directory regularly. All computer science unit directories are on turing.

Each unit has an associated Unix username. So COMP131 has a username of comp131, COMP283 a username of comp283, etc. Therefore, to access a unit directory you can use the `home of' abbreviation ~  provided by the Unix shell. Here is a sample session showing how you might access the unit directory:

turing % cd ~comp131
turing % ls -F
Admin/        News/         cshrc.csh     login.csh     public_html/
Bin/          Submit/       examples/     mbox          temp/
Mail/         assignments/  lectures/     notices/      tutorials/
turing % cd assignments
turing % ls -F
assignment1 marking_scheme
turing % less assignment1
[deleted]
turing % cp assignment1 ~
turing % cd

In this example we change directory to the COMP131 unit directory (cd ~comp131) and list the files there (ls -F)20. We then change down into a directory (cd assignments) and do another list of the files there. We then look at a file (less assignment1) and then copy it back to our home directory (cp assignment1 ~). Finally we change directory back to our home directory (cd).
