Hi,
I am looking for a tool that will email to the user if his/her account
(more specifically email box) is approaching quota limit. I've searched
everywhere for such a tool but to no avail.
On Linux, there is a tool called warnquota that fits my need but I am
running FreeBSD 4.5 -RELEASE so
I always just used the following script in the /etc/csh.login:
#if (`quota | grep '\*'` != ) then
# echo Warning: Quota Exceeded:
# quota
#endif
Given that the output of the quota command is fairly parseable, a little
bit of scripting or perl should do the trick.

I fail to mention that this machine is strictly a mail server with over
10K+ accounts. Users cannot log into their shell account and they check
email via POP/IMAP only.
