Strange that "users" set quotas. Usually you can do that on Linux for example with edquota and don't really need a front end asking you parameters. Anyway here you go.
One of many ways - take it as a start and try to readup and try out the things missing.
For keeping a formatted output you might want to work with printf instead of print though.
Variables you got via read for example from your "users" you can use with the -v option inside awk for example.
If those "users" may not be root etc. you might want to setup sudo for them so they can use edquota instead.

Dear Guru's
I'm using Putty and want to edit a file. I know we generally use vi editor to do it. As I'm not good in using vi editor, I want to convert the vi into something like text pad. Is there any option in Putty to do the same ? Thanks for your response.

mkfs
MKFS(8) System Manager's Manual MKFS(8)NAME
mkfs - build a Linux file system
SYNOPSIS
mkfs [-V] [-t fstype] [fs-options] filesys [blocks]
DESCRIPTION
mkfs is used to build a Linux file system on a device, usually a hard disk partition. filesys is either the device name (e.g. /dev/hda1,
/dev/sdb2), or a regular file that shall contain the file system. blocks is the number of blocks to be used for the file system.
The exit code returned by mkfs is 0 on success and 1 on failure.
In actuality, mkfs is simply a front-end for the various file system builders (mkfs.fstype) available under Linux. The file system-spe-
cific builder is searched for in a number of directories like perhaps /sbin, /sbin/fs, /sbin/fs.d, /etc/fs, /etc (the precise list is
defined at compile time but at least contains /sbin and /sbin/fs), and finally in the directories listed in the PATH environment variable.
Please see the file system-specific builder manual pages for further details.
OPTIONS -V Produce verbose output, including all file system-specific commands that are executed. Specifying this option more than once
inhibits execution of any file system-specific commands. This is really only useful for testing.
-t fstype
Specifies the type of file system to be built. If not specified, the default file system type (currently ext2) is used.
fs-options
File system-specific options to be passed to the real file system builder. Although not guaranteed, the following options are sup-
ported by most file system builders.
-c Check the device for bad blocks before building the file system.
-l filename
Read the bad blocks list from filename
-v Produce verbose output.
BUGS
All generic options must precede and not be combined with file system-specific options. Some file system-specific programs do not support
the -v (verbose) option, nor return meaningful exit codes. Also, some file system-specific programs do not automatically detect the device
size and require the blocks parameter to be specified.
