For info about your own account, login to any Instructional system as
"newacct" (password 'newacct').
Accounts for current CS and EECS students will remain active at least
until May 2008 without any action by the user.
All files in the /home/tmp directory will be removed. Please read /share/b/pub/removable-media.help for information about backing up your files.
- Cardkey access to the Instructional labs will terminate on Thursday May 22.
- Instructional servers may be down at times for maintenance between June 2

Login as 'newacct' (password: 'newacct') at any time on any EECS Instructional UNIX system to verify your account status. Or, login to http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/webacct.
If our records are in error, you may complete an EECS Account Request Form (available outside of 386 Cory) and submit it at 386 Cory before May 23 2008. Or you can just wait until August 15, when we will have newer enrollment records, and login as 'newacct' (password: 'newacct') to renew your account. Your files will still be there.
For class accounts ("cs61a-aa", "ee122-aa", etc), the files will be saved
for 1-2 weeks, archived to tape and deleted. Class account logins are
reassigned to new students next semester.
For named accounts ("jdoe", etc), the files will be saved for about a month
after the start of the next semester, and the files will be archived to tape
before they are deleted. If the student is eligible again for an account
next semester, the account can be renewed (by logging in as 'newacct').
While an account is "expired", you will still have limited access to it:
- Email will no longer be stored for the account, but it will be forwarded
to you if you left a forwarding address in your UNIX .forward file. You
can copy a .procmailrc file to your account using 'sftp'.
- If you login to your expired UNIX account using an 'ssh' program (such as
SSH Secure Shell Client on Windows), your grades will be displayed for any
EECS classes that use a local grading database ('glookup') this semester.
- If you login to your UNIX account using an 'scp' or 'sftp' program (such
as SSH Secure File Transfer Client on Windows), you will be able to copy
your files from the account.
Email sent to an expired account can only be forwarded to another system -
it will not be saved here. You can also have your own automated reply that
tells the sender about your new email address. If you do not set this up,
the senders will receive an automated reply telling them that the email
address is no longer valid. Email will be forwarded for up to one year
after a named account expires.
These features are set in a .procmailrc file in your UNIX home directory.
You can create or edit the file using a text editor (vi, emacs) when logged
into your UNIX account. You can also copy a .procmailrc into an expired
account using 'sftp' (see What happens to the files in an expired account?).
Each rule in .procmailrc starts with a ":0" line.
The "c" in :0c: says to continue to the next rule after processing this one.
To enable email forwarding, add a rule like this at the beginning of the
rules in .procmailrc:
:0c:
! me@new.edu
To enable an auto-reply that is sent in response to incoming email, add this
rule at the beginning of the rules in .procmailrc:
:0c:
* !^From[: ].*$LOGNAME
| /usr/bin/vacation $LOGNAME
For auto-replies, you also need to create a message in a file called
.vacation.msg and initialize the UNIX "vacation" program. For example:
echo "My new email address is me@new.edu." > ~/.vacation.msg
vacation -I
You can use a editor to create a better message in the .vacation.msg file.
See "man vacation" on a UNIX system for more options.
- BEFORE your account expires, you can copy your files from your Windows
and UNIX home directories by transferring them to a UCB memory stick.
You could also email them to yourself or use a file transfer program.
See http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/pub.cgi?file=file-transfer.help.
On UNIX, you can login and bundle the files into a single compressed file
that is easier to copy or email to yourself elsewhere. Here is an easy
way to do that from one of our UNIX accounts:
% cd # goes to your home directory
% zip -9ryq /tmp/$USER.zip . # makes a copy in the local /tmp dir
You could copy the /tmp/$USER.zip file somewhere else and unzip it there.
You can send this file to yourself as an email with an attached Zip file
containing all your files, for example:
% mutt -a /tmp/$USER.zip you@elsewhere.com < /dev/null # mails it
% rm /tmp/$USER # deletes it
- AFTER your account expires, you will not be able to copy the Windows files.
- AFTER your account expires, you will be able to copy the UNIX files over
the net until June 2 by using an 'scp' or 'sftp' program (such as SSH
Secure File Transfer Client or WinSCP on Windows) to login from another
computer.
- BEFORE and AFTER your account expires (as long as the account still exists),
you can download email from imail.eecs.berkeley.edu, the Instructional IMAP
server. See http://inst.eecs.berkeley.edu/connecting.html#email.
AFTER your account expires, no new email is accepted here.
- The files in an expired class account are removed from our disk a
week or two after the end of the semester. The files for an expired
named account remain on the disk until about 1 month into the next
semester.
For more information, please see
- How Do I Manage Email?
- How Do I Copy Files Between Computers?
The Registrar posts grades on-line at http://bearfacts.berkeley.edu.
If your class used the EECS Instructional grading software ('submit' and
'glookup'), you can still see the 'glookup' results if you login to your
expired account.
If you login to your expired UNIX account using an 'ssh' program (such as
SSH Secure Shell Client on Windows), your grades will be displayed for any
EECS classes that use a local grading database ('glookup') this semester.
This lasts for 1-2 weeks after the account has expired.
All Spring 2008 EECS E-Academy accounts will expire at 9am on May 23, 2008. Students who are eligible after June 20, 2008 can request or renew an E-Academy account by following the instructions on http://msdnaa.eecs.berkeley.edu/.
