<WRAP muchbigger>**commitchk**</WRAP>
=====Objective=====
A grade not-Z script to check wiki edits and repository commits during a given timeframe.

=====TODO=====

  * implement proper error checking (especially on the command-line arguments)
  * might be interesting having course profiles
  * more integration with the attendance system
  * consider creating a subversion repository to place this (and my other scripts) within
=====Prerequisites=====
In order to use **commitchk**, the following conditions need to be met:

  * An accessible wiki site.
  * A working repository.
  * User running the script needs permissions to access wiki, repository, and write appropriate student files.

=====Usage=====
To use **commitchk**, it requires a minimum of **5** arguments, and an optional //sixth// for debug mode, as follows:

<cli>
lab46:~$ commitchk data 20101116 20101118 2 1
</cli>

A common deployment is via an **at**(**1**) job:

<cli>
lab46:~$ at -t 201011301012.00
warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
at> /home/wedge/bin/commitchk data 20101118 20101130 4 2
at> <EOT>
job 91 at Tue Nov 30 10:12:00 2010
lab46:~$ 
</cli>

Parameters are as follows:

  - class designator ("data" for Data Structures, "unix" for UNIX/Linux Fundamentals, etc.)
  - starting date in YYYYMMDD format
  - ending date in YYYYMMDD format
  - minimum number of repository commits required
  - minimum number of wiki edits required
  - optional: debug mode

If ANY sixth argument is supplied, the script will operate in debug mode- no generated data will be written to any files, so it is great for testing modifications without concern of incorrect or undesired data being written.
