Need help!! script for quotas

here is the file i must use to write my script (from a repquota -g) :

Group used soft grace ...

group1 -- 270000 0 0 ...
group2 -- 1500005 0 0 ...
group3 -- 55 0 0
... ... ... ... ...

the script has to assign a quota on each group (depending on the space-disk the group already uses). As a result, I have to obtain after a repquota -g :

Group used soft grace

group1 -- 270000 500000 505000
group2 -- 150000 2000000 2005000
group3 -- 55 200000 205000
... ... ... ...

(as u can see, the grace column must be 5000 Ko higher than the soft comlumn)

Can someone guide me? I dont even know how to start???

Thanks for replying fast!

:-)

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

NAME
repquota - summarize quotas for a filesystem SYNOPSIS
/usr/sbin/repquota [ -vspiug ] [ -c | -C ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ] filesystem... /usr/sbin/repquota [ -avtpsiug ] [ -c | -C ] [ -t | -n ] [ -F format-name ] DESCRIPTION
repquota prints a summary of the disc usage and quotas for the specified file systems. For each user the current number of files and amount of space (in kilobytes) is printed, along with any quota limits set with edquota(8) or setquota(8). In the second column repquota prints two characters marking which limits are exceeded. If user is over his space softlimit or reaches his space hardlimit in case soft- limit is unset, the first character is '+'. Otherwise the character printed is '-'. The second character denotes the state of inode usage analogously. repquota has to translate ids of all users/groups to names (unless option -n was specified) so it may take a while to print all the infor- mation. To make translating as fast as possible repquota tries to detect (by reading /etc/nsswitch.conf) whether entries are stored in standard plain text file or in a database and either translates chunks of 1024 names or each name individually. You can override this autodetection by -c or -C options. OPTIONS
-a, --all Report on all filesystems indicated in /etc/mtab to be read-write with quotas. -v, --verbose Report all quotas, even if there is no usage. Be also more verbose about quotafile information. -c, --cache Cache entries to report and translate uids/gids to names in big chunks by scanning all users (default). This is good (fast) behav- iour when using /etc/passwd file. -C, --no-cache Translate individual entries. This is faster when you have users stored in database. -t, --truncate-names Truncate user/group names longer than 9 characters. This results in nicer output when there are such names. -n, --no-names Don't resolve UIDs/GIDs to names. This can speedup printing a lot. -s, --human-readable Try to report used space, number of used inodes and limits in more appropriate units than the default ones. -p, --raw-grace When user is in grace period, report time in seconds since epoch when his grace time runs out (or has run out). Field is '0' when no grace time is in effect. This is especially useful when parsing output by a script. -i, --no-autofs Ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter. -F, --format=format-name Report quota for specified format (ie. don't perform format autodetection). Possible format names are: vfsold Original quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with 32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode usage and limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage, xfs (quota on XFS filesystem) -g, --group Report quotas for groups. -u, --user Report quotas for users. This is the default. Only the super-user may view quotas which are not their own. FILES
aquota.user or aquota.group quota file at the filesystem root (version 2 quota, non-XFS filesystems) quota.user or quota.group quota file at the filesystem root (version 1 quota, non-XFS filesystems) /etc/mtab default filesystems /etc/passwd default set of users /etc/group default set of groups SEE ALSO
