quota_nld
RQUOTAD(8) System Manager's Manual RQUOTAD(8)NAME
quota_nld - quota netlink message daemon
SYNOPSIS
quota_nld [[ -D | -C ][ -F ][ -b ]]
DESCRIPTION
quota_nld listens on netlink socket and processes received quota warnings. By default quota_nld forwards warning messages to both the sys-
tem's DBUS (so that the desktop manager can display a dialog) and the last-accessed terminal of the user to whom each warning is directed.
Either of these destinations can be disabled with the -D and -C options, respectively.
In the case of the user's terminal, quota messages about falling below the hard and soft limits are not sent unless the -b option is speci-
fied. In the case of the DBUS, all quota messages are sent.
Note, that you have to enable the kernel support for sending quota messages over netlink (in Filesystems->Quota menu).
OPTIONS -V, --version
Show version of quota tools and exit.
-h, --help
Show a usage message and exit.
-D, --no-dbus
Do not forward quota warnings to DBUS.
-C, --no-console
Do not print quota warnings to the user's last-accessed terminal.
-b, --print-below
If quota warnings are printed to users' terminals, include messages about falling below their hard and soft limits.
-F, --foreground
Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging purposes).
