Do you know what commands to use for finding the information you are looking for?

==> i guess i'll use edquota -p group1 group2 (to apply an existing quota grom group1 to group2....

First, figure out which shell or programming language you are going to use.

==> i started in ksh....the only language i nearly know

Second, find the commands that will gather the information you need (such as disk space, who is on what disk,....).
Third, start experimenting.

here are several lines i started to write :

#!/bin/ksh
CPT=1
GROUP_NAME=""
USED_SPACE_GROUP=""


GROUP_NAME=`cut -c1-10 $QUOTA_LIST | sed -n $CPT\p`
USED_SPACE_GROUP=`cut -c24-33 $QUOTA_LIST | sed -n $CPT\p`
CPT=$CPT+1

etc...

Post back what OS/version

==> alpha OSF1 V5.1


Is it a good start???
