Contributed Admin Scripts (Large Installations)

Managing large WeBWorK installations often results in managing the courses and rosters on the server being difficult if one tries to do it all from the Web administration interface. As a result, there are a number of WeBWorK administration scripts that people have developed. These are included below with some minimal explanation and documentation.

• Archive and delete script: archive and delete a (list of) courses. Call as sh archive-and-delete.sh file1 [file2..]. Provided by Hal Sadofsky, University of Oregon. archive-and-delete.sh (calls make-course-archive.pl).
• Hide courses script: hide a (list of) courses from the list of courses on the WeBWorK courses page. Call as sh hide-courses.sh file1 [file2..]. Provided by Hal Sadofsky, University of Oregon. hide-courses.sh.
• Delete (and log) anonymous gateway/quiz assignments script: delete from the WeBWorK database gateway/quiz assignments that have been taken by practice users. Call as wwclearAnonymous. See configuration variables section of the script. Provided by Gavin LaRose, University of Michigan. wwclearAnonymous
