This is what it is supposed to do.

If this is what you want, read the manual for edquota more
closely. There is an option "-p" that will be useful to you. If you can
do *any* coding, stick a call to this inside a look. For example, in
perl:
foreach (@users)
{
$cmd = "/usr/sbin/edquota -u -p $ARGV[1] $_";
system("$cmd");
print ".";
}
I found the following script lieing around in my utilities
directory. I can't remember if it works or not, but feel free to try it.
#!/usr/bin/perl
#
#The purpose of this script is to read a file full of usernames,
#one username per line, and set all of their disk quotas to be
#the same as that of one specific user.
#
if ((!($ARGV[0])) || (!($ARGV[1])))
{
die "$0 <file of usernames> <template user>\n";
}
open(LIST,"$ARGV[0]") || die "Error: Could not open file $ARGV[0].\n\n";
@users=<LIST>;
close(LIST);
print "Users to edit:\n\n";
foreach (@users)
{
chop;
print $_ . "\n";
}
print "\nPermanently replace quota settings of these users with quota of $ARGV[1]?\n";
$confirm="foo";
while ((!($confirm eq "n")) && (!($confirm eq "y")))
{
print "(y/n)";
$confirm=<STDIN>;
chop($confirm);
}
if ($confirm eq "y")
{
print "If you insist....\n";
print "Working";
foreach (@users)
{
$cmd = "/usr/sbin/edquota -u -p $ARGV[1] $_";
system("$cmd");
print ".";
}
}
else
{
print "The command has been canceled.\n";
}
print "\nDone.\n\n";
Good luck,
Jaime
