Assignment Submitter

Allows for "secure" copying of student submissions from a Linux directory they own to one owned by the instructor. This was developed for use on Kutztown University Computer Science's Linux machines.

submit.cpp

A simple wrapper program that calls the Python script file (submit.py). Linux envs do not allow interpreted scripts to be ran with with the SUID or SGID bits, which the script needs in order to run.

This should be compiled using whatever g++ your Linux disto has to avoid LD_LIBRARY_PATH problems (Since SUID programs ignore that env variable).

After compiling make sure it's accessible by any user on the system and set the bits.
