Usage: edquota [ -ug ] [ -F format-name ] -t
-t Edit the soft time limits for each filesystem. In
old quota format if the time limits are zero, the
default time limits in <linux/quota.h> are used. In
new quota format time limits must be specified
(there is no default value set in kernel). Time
units of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, and
months are understood. Time limits are printed in
the greatest possible time unit such that the value
is greater than or equal to one.
My suggestion to you, instead, is to get hold of Webmin, located at
http://www.webmin.com. The quota control in Webmin gives you an easy
interface to time, space and inode control for quotas.
