[Lias] Automatic "quota limit reached" notification

[Tom Doyle]

Sorry, I meant file system quota...

This is just a mail server so when they hit a soft limit, I want an email to 
shoot off to them & I.

so I have to setup quotacheck in cron each night & then also run warnquota 
right?

I just ran warnquota and it sent me an email for all users over quota (as 
configured). quotacheck is not scheduled so how did it know these accounts 
were over? Do I really need to run quotacheck ie. umounting an important 
filesystem each night?

Cheers,
tom.

 Er, what sort of quota, filesystem, Net traffic, number of times the
 user has bothered the sysadmin?
 
 With FS quotas, the user gets a console message as soon as they try a
 write above limit.
