warnquota - send mail to users over quota

warnquota [ -ugsid ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -q quotatab ] [ -c configfile ] [ -a adminsfile ]

warnquota checks the disk quota for each filesystem and mails a warning message to those users who have reached their softlimit. It is typically run via cron(8).

-F quotaformat

Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)

-q quotatab

Use quotatab instead of /etc/quotatab as file with device description strings (see example file for syntax).

-c configfile

Use configfile instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as configuration file (see example file for syntax).

-a adminsfile

Use adminsfile instead of /etc/quotagrpadmins as a file with administrators of the groups.

-u

-g

check whether groups are not exceeding quotas. If group is exceeding quota a mail is sent to the user specified in /etc/quotagrpadmins.

-s

-i
