WARNQUOTA(8) System Manager's Manual WARNQUOTA(8)
warnquota - send mail to users over quota
warnquota [ -ugsid ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -q quotatab ] [ -c
configfile ] [ -a adminsfile ] [ filesystem... ]
warnquota checks the disk quota for specified local filesystems
(or for each local filesystem if none specified) 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
Original quota format with 16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota
format with 32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit
inode usage and limits, vfsv1 Quota format with 64-bit
quota limits and usage, xfs Quota on XFS filesystem.
-q, --quota-tab=quotatab
Use quotatab instead of /etc/quotatab as file with device
description strings (see quotatab(5) for syntax).
-c, --config=configfile
Use configfile instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as
configuration file (see warnquota.conf(5) for syntax).
-a, --admins-file=adminsfile

with administrators of the groups (see quotagrpadmins(5)
for syntax).
-u, --user
check whether users are not exceeding quotas (default).

exceeding quota a mail is sent to the user specified in
/etc/quotagrpadmins.
-s, --human-readable[=units]

in more appropriate units than the default ones. Units can
be also specified explicitely by an optional argument in
format [ kgt ],[ kgt ] where the first character specifies
space units and the second character specifies inode units.
