Your script will evaluate student shell scripts by running them, comparing output to expected output using diff, calculating scores by deducting points for differences, checking for plagiarism, and outputting results to a CSV file with student IDs and scores. The script takes max score and max student ID as arguments with defaults of 100 and 5. It will loop through student directories, run scripts, score them, and output a CSV with scores.

Assignment On Shell Scripting


Deadline: 11:59 pm, 05 Dec 2022

Your job is to write a bash script that evaluates each student’s script, compares the
output with an expected output text, and grades the script accordingly. You will also
write a “copy-checker” (of course, a silly one!) to detect any plagiarism.

Input:
You will be given a zip folder. After unzipping it, the contents of the directory will contain:

1. Submissions directory will contain the submissions of all the students. Under
the Submissions directory, there will be a directory for each student who
submitted the assignment. Each student directory must contain a sh file named
<student_id.sh>. This is the script that will be executed for evaluation. For
example, Submissions/1805123/1805123.sh is the submission script of student
ID 1805123.
2. AcceptedOutput.txt is a text file that contains the expected output from
students’ solutions.

Task Details:
1. Your script will take two arguments:
a. max_score: a positive integer argument that will be the maximum
score a student can get. If no argument is provided, use 100 as the
default value
b. max_student_id: a positive integer argument between 1 to 9
(inclusive) that determines the last considered student’s ID. For example,
if the max_student_id is 5, the student IDs will be 1805121, 1805122,
1805123, 1805124, and 1805125. If the max_student_id is 9, the student
IDs will be 1805121, 1805122, ……, 1805129. Use 5 as the default
value.
2. Run the student’s <student_id>.sh file, using the student’s folder as the working
directory. (You may want to capture the student’s output into a file.) Note that the
student script files may not have execute permission, so you should manually
invoke bash to run them, such as bash ./script.sh
3. Compare the student’s output against the expected output file using diff. The
expected output is case-sensitive. Run diff so that it ignores all white space (see
the man page of diff). Count the number of lines that do not match. We will keep
the definition of mismatch simple: we will consider any line of diff output
containing a < or a > to count as 1 line of unmatched content.

The image above has a mismatch of 4.

4. For each unmatched line, deduct 5 points from the student’s score. For example,
if the diff output has 4 lines that have < or > (the above case), the student should
lose 20 scores. If the student loses more points than there are points in the
assignment, the student should receive 0 points.
5. If there is no directory for a student_id or the directory does not contain the
<student_id>.sh file or incorrectly named the file, the student should get 0 points
on the assignment.
6. Now, if a student is caught in the copy-checker, his/her score will be negative of
his/her initial score. If the initial score was 60, now it will be -60. The definition of
copy is somewhat loose here. We will call two scripts copies of each other if they
exactly match i.e: the diff command produces no output. You should ignore
trailing whitespaces and blank lines while comparing.
7. You can create any temporary files as needed, but they should not persist after
your script ends.
8. You can assume the students’ scripts are not malicious and they don’t hang
indefinitely.

Output:
You have to prepare a CSV file named output.csv with two columns student_id, and
score.
Help:
- Have a look at the man page of diff.
- The following link might help work with CSV files:

Restrictions:
Please DO NOT COPY solutions from anywhere (your friends, seniors, internet, etc.).
Any form of plagiarism (irrespective of source or destination), will result in getting -100%
marks in this assignment. You have to protect your code.

Disclaimer:
The sample input and output files are simply for clarifying the formats with parameters
max_score = 50 and max_student_id = 5. No guarantee is given that the outputs will
be the same for the provided input.

Submission Guideline:
1. Create a directory with your 7-digit student id as your name
2. Rename your shell script file with your 7-digit student id
3. Put this script into the directory created in 1
4. Zip the directory
5. Upload the zip into moodle

For example, if your student id is 1805123, create a directory named 1805123, and
rename your .sh file into 1805123.sh. Put 1805123.sh into 1805123, and then zip
1805123 into 1805123.zip, and upload the 1805123.zip into moodle.

Failure to follow the above-mentioned submission guideline will result in some


penalties.
