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/quotagrpadmins.
-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.
