quota editing

[Stryker]

does anyone know of a command line utility for editing quotas? I don't mean like edquota. I would like to do something like:
./setquota -u testuser --hard 10000

if possible.

Any ideas?



If not i'm thinking of something like:
EDITOR=echo edquota -u testuser | while read item; do sed 's/0\t0/10000\t0/g' $item > $item; done

but thats messy and probably wouldn't work

Doesn't setquota work for you? Here's the man page:

$ man setquota

yeah i just found that before you posted, feel kinda dumb considering setquota was my example...

I got it now tho. Thanks.

I got a little tip (well, maybe it's a tip). If I am wondering what commands are included with a package I just "rpm -qil packagename". Look for the files listed in /bin, /sbin, /usr/bin, /usr/sbin, etc. Then do a man on those commands.

e.g. rpm -qil quota | grep bin

Well, everything's working perfectly now. I used it as part of a script for the signup process of a new shell account service i'm creating. People can customize how much ram, process, logins, and disk space they want to pick their own price, pay with paypal, and have it create their account.

thanks again.
