edit users quota in a script
Hello. I use a script to create automatically my users (with pw, and mkdir, etc...). I use quota, and I have to excute 'edquota -u user', and enter quota informations. So, the process can not be automaticated. And cannot be part of my script. I don't find informations in edquota(8) manpages about editing user quota without open a file. Is an other solution exists? I'm looking for a solution in command line (for my script). Regards, -- -Nicolas. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Try man edquota again. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Re: edit users quota in a script
Besides the -e switch to edquota as has already been mentioned, I used to make extensive use of the -p switch to use a prototype. For example, you could create a fake user (or group) named q-typical, assign that user the quotas for a typical user, and then use edquota -p q-typical newuser to assign those quotas to the new user. You could maintain several prototypes for different classes of users or groups. On Sat, Feb 07, 2009 at 01:00:25PM +0100, Nicolas Letellier wrote: Hello.
