Ok, I've changed my script such that it no longer switches quotas off
before doing an equota or a quotacheck. I then processed 25 or so new
users (which is usually more than enough to cause a crash) and everything
seems to be working fine! Maybe this _was_ the problem.
So, this begs the question: Is it bad to run edquota while quotas are
enabled? Terry?
thanks to all who've responded!!!
