Help required in crontab
Hi All,
I have written a script which checks for the quota of the system and sends the mail to the user if quota increases a particular threshold.
I want that this scripts get automaticaaly executed ,whic h I believe can be done with the help of crontab.
I am unaware of how to use this crontab.
So,can anyone out here help me with this.
My script goes as :
remsh $HOST -l $TLG_RATER_USR_ID -n "quota -v" > fill4
size=`awk 'NR==3 {print $2}' fill4`

echo $size

a=370000
if [ $size -ge $a ] ; then
echo "quota is more ,kindly delete the unwanted files "| mailx -s URGENT: Low disk space -r abc@sd.com
else
echo " quota is lessss,u can continue"
fi

Thanks.

quota

QUOTA(8)						      System Manager's Manual							  QUOTA(8)

 *

NAME

       quota - report and optionally fix quota usage

SYNOPSIS

       quota [ -C config-file ] [ -d domain ] [ -f ] [ mailbox-prefix...  ]

DESCRIPTION

       Quota generates a report listing quota roots, giving their limits and usage.  If the -f option is given, quota first fixes any inconsisten-
       cies in the quota subsystem, such as mailboxes with the wrong quota root or quota roots	with  the  wrong  quota  usage	reported.   If	an
       optional  domain is given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is performed in that domain rather than the default domain.  If any
       optional mailbox-prefix arguments are given, the quota listing (and inconsistency fixing) is limited to quota roots with names  that  start
       with one of the given prefixes.

       Running quota with both the -f option and mailbox-prefix arguments is not recommended.

       Quota reads its configuration options out of the imapd.conf(5) file unless specified otherwise by -C.

OPTIONS

       -C config-file
	      Read configuration options from config-file.

       -d domain
	      List/fix quotas in domain.

       -f     Fix any inconsistencies in the quota subsystem before generating a report.

FILES

       /etc/imapd.conf
