Limitation of DiskSpace Script

Hi,

I'm a teacher in Germany and I want to set up a classroom with Linux 8.1 PCs. Every User should have a Max of 100 MB available space. Now I need a script which tells everyone how much diskspace is used in a certain subdirectory.

It should work like that: User enters a command like
diskusage -directory
and the command should list all directories as following:

diskusage -mail
2.3M /mail/spam
1.4M /mail/important
29.2M /mail/private


directories which's sizes exceed 1G should not be listed.

I experimented with "du" but couldn't get the right method. Maybe a combination of "find" and "du" is the right way but I don't get it for some reason.

THX in advance,

Dennis

NAME
conflict - search for alias/password conflicts SYNOPSIS
/usr/lib/mh/conflict [-search directory] [-mail name] [-version] [-help] [aliasfiles ...] DESCRIPTION
Conflict is a program that checks to see if the interface between nmh and the transport system is in good shape Conflict also checks for maildrops in /var/mail which do not belong to a valid user. It assumes that no user name will start with `.', and thus ignores files in /var/mail which begin with `.'. It also checks for entries in the group(5) file which do not belong to a valid user, and for users who do not have a valid group number. In addition duplicate users and groups are noted. If the -mail name switch is used, then the results will be sent to the specified name. Otherwise, the results are sent to the standard output. The -search directory switch can be used to search directories other than /var/mail and to report anomalies in those directories. The -search directory switch can appear more than one time in an invocation to conflict. Conflict should be run under cron(8), or whenever system accounting takes place. FILES
/etc/nmh/mts.conf nmh mts configuration file /etc/passwd List of users /etc/group List of groups /usr/bin/mh/mhmail Program to send mail /var/mail/ Directory of mail drop PROFILE COMPONENTS
None SEE ALSO
mh-alias(5) DEFAULTS
`aliasfiles' defaults to /etc/nmh/MailAliases CONTEXT
None MH.6.8 11 June 2012 CONFLICT(8)
