$EDITOR. You'll have to play with it a bit, but write a shell script that takes a filename on the command line, and parses/modifies that file as a quota file, then saves it and exits. Then do $ EDITOR=my_script edquota <user> > Or is there some way other than > using > edquota that I can use to have a script create many individual quotas? You can edit the binary file edquota deals with. Read the man page. -- Matthew Weigel hacker [EMAIL PROTECTED]
