WARNQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual WARNQUOTA(8)
NAME
warnquota - send mail to users over quota
SYNOPSIS
warnquota [ -ugsid ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -q quotatab ] [ -c configfile ] [ -a adminsfile ]
DESCRIPTION
warnquota checks the disk quota for each local filesystem and mails a warning message to those users who have reached their softlimit. It
is typically run via cron(8).
-F, --format=quotaformat
Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold (version 1 quota),
vfsv0 (version 2 quota), rpc (quota over NFS), xfs (quota on XFS filesystem)
-q, --quota-tab=quotatab
Use quotatab instead of /etc/quotatab as file with device description strings (see example file for syntax).
-c, --config=configfile
Use configfile instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as configuration file (see example file for syntax).
-a, --admins-file=adminsfile
Use adminsfile instead of /etc/quotagrpadmins as a file with administrators of the groups.
-u, --user
check whether users are not exceeding quotas (default).
-g, --group
check whether groups are not exceeding quotas. If group is exceeding quota a mail is sent to the user specified in /etc/quotagrpad-
mins.
-s, --human-readable
Try to report used space, number of used inodes and limits in more appropriate units than the default ones.
-i, --no-autofs
ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter.
-d, --no-details
do not attach quota report in email.
