Repquota doesn't work as Cronjob?!?
Hello:
I'm trying to run repquota -ag > /home/usersdir/repquota.txt as a daily cronjob at midnight, but the file always ends up blank.
I even tried writing a quick Perl script to e-mail me what running that command outputs, and it's nothing.
Can root run repquota as a cronjob? Do I have to do anything special?
Thanks for any help.
Peter.

repquota
repquota(8) System Manager's Manual repquota(8)
NAME
repquota - summarizes file system quotas
SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/repquota [-guv] file_spec ...
/usr/sbin/repquota -a [-guv]
PARAMETERS
Specifies one or more file systems. Specify any file system by entering its full path name or its mount point. The full path name is the
name entered in the file_spec field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file. The mount point is the name entered in the
mnt_point field of the file system's entry in the /etc/fstab file.
For UFS file systems, you can alternatively enter the name of a block device special file. For example: /dev/disk/dsk3c.
For AdvFS filesets, you can alternatively enter the name of a file domain, a pound sign (#), and the name of the fileset. For exam-
ple: root_domain#root.
FLAGS
Prints quotas for all the file systems listed in /etc/fstab. Prints group quotas only. Prints user quotas only. Prints a header line
before the information for each file system.
DESCRIPTION
The repquota command prints a summary of the disk usage and quotas for the specified file systems. The command provides a snapshot of the
quota statistics, which may be inaccurate if there is current activity in the file system. To ensure that the satistics are accurate, run
the command when there is no file system activity.
To be included in the summary, each file system must have the userquota and groupquota entries in the /etc/fstab file . The following is
an example of an entry in the etc/fstab file for the usr fileset:
advfs_dmn#usr /usr advfs rw,userquota,groupquota
By default, both user and group quota are displayed (if they exist). For each user or group, the current number of files and amount of
space (in kilobytes) is printed, as well as quota limits established with the edquota command.
repquota must be run by a user with superuser authority.
NOTES
Disk quotas are displayed as 1 kilobyte blocks.
The term file system represents either a UFS file system or and AdvFS fileset.
RESTRICTIONS
You must be the root user to use the repquota command.
FILES
Specifies the command path Contains user quotas for file systems Contains group quotas for file systems Contains fileset names and loca-
tions
