EDQUOTA(1M)         RISC/os Reference Manual          EDQUOTA(1M)



NAME
     edquota - edit user quotas

SYNOPSIS
     /etc/edquota [ -p proto-user ] usernames...

     /etc/edquota -t

DESCRIPTION
     edquota is a quota editor.  One or more users may be speci-
     fied on the command line.  For each user a temporary file is
     created with an ASCII representation of the current disk
     quotas for that user and an editor is then invoked on the
     file.  The quotas may then be modified, new quotas added,
     etc.  Upon leaving the editor, edquota reads the temporary
     file and modifies the binary quota files to reflect the
     changes made.

     The editor invoked is vi(1) unless the EDITOR environment
     variable specifies otherwise.

     Only the super-user may edit quotas.  (In order for quotas
     to be established on a file system, the root directory of
     the file system must contain a file, owned by root, called
     quotas.  See quotaon(1M) for details.)

OPTIONS
     -p   Duplicate the quotas of the prototypical user specified
          for each user specified.  This is the normal mechanism
          used to initialize quotas for groups of users.

     -t   Edit the soft time limits for each file system.  If the
          time limits are zero, the default time limits in
          <ufs/quota.h> are used.  Time units of sec(onds),
          min(utes), hour(s), day(s), week(s), and month(s) are
          understood.  Time limits are printed in the greatest
          possible time unit such that the value is greater than
          or equal to one.

FILES
     quotas              quota file at the file system root
     /etc/mtab           mounted file systems

BUGS
     The format of the temporary file is inscrutable.
