On June 15 you will lose the permission to access the files in your extra disk space (including all your projects), and you will also lose permission to access the files we've put in the class public directory 212public. At some point after that, all of these files will be automatically deleted. So if you want to save any of your projects or other coursework, or any of the files or information we provided (examples from discussion, secret tests, etc.) for any future reference, it will be important to do so soon after finals are over. At that time, you should also remember to do the following. These steps just undo the changes to your account which were made during an early discussion section. Since you may be using your Glue account on the Grace systems for other courses in the future, the changes you made for this course may conflict with changes you would have to make then for those courses, so these can be undone now (after you've seen and copied everything you need for this course).

• Copy your files which you want to keep, and any files we provided which you want to keep, either to another machine, or to your Glue home directory.

  Although you will lose your login permission to the Grace systems soon after the course is over, you will still be able to to log into your Glue account via any Glue machine (just log in to glue.umd.edu), since your Glue account will remain as long as you're associated with the University. So you can just move or copy your class files to your Glue home directory if you want, and if you have enough disk space. Or you can copy them to another computer if desired.

  (Although you will lose login access to Grace after this course is over, you may be taking later courses which also use the Grace systems, in which case you would again gain access to the Grace hosts while you were taking those courses.)

• Remove our directory from your path in your file .path, by just removing the line beginning "setenv PATH ..." which you added earlier. (Of course, if you've added any directories of your own to your path then leave those changes alone.)

• Remove the symbolic link which you created named "212" from your home directory to your extra disk space for this course, by just removing the symlink, as in "rm ~/212". Of course you could still reach the files in your extra disk space after that if you wanted to, until you lose access to them, just by using the full pathname. For example, you could still use a command like:

  cd /afs/glue/class/spring2008/cmsc/212/section/student/loginID

  instead of "cd 212". For convenience (to avoid having to type such a long command) though, you should probably wait to remove the symlink after you've copied or moved any files from your extra disk space which you want to.

• Also remove the symbolic link you created in your home directory named 212public, which points to the class public directory /afs/glue/class/spring2008/cmsc/212/0101/public.

As you change things in your account, keep in mind that on the Grace or Glue systems you should never make any changes directly to your .cshrc or .login files. Changes which you might want to make to those files should instead be made to the files .cshrc.mine and .startup.tty respectively, which are located in your home directory.
