Warning the user at 95%, 97% and 99% using the warning scripts is easy and was already configured and is working like a charm. Disabling the account in a nightly cronjob will be easy as well. Since I use the Mysql-dict for quota, I can just query that, compare the value to the configured quota from LDAP and act accordingly. But how do I instantly reenable the account when it drops below 100% with the warning scripts? As far as I understand the documentation, they are only triggered if the quota use rises over the configured thresholds. I seem to somehow miss a piece, but I cannot see which one.
