SYNOPSIS
       warnquota  [  -ugsid ] [ -F quotaformat ] [ -q quotatab ] [ -c config-
       file ] [ -a adminsfile ]

DESCRIPTION
       warnquota checks the disk quota for each filesystem and mails a	warn-
       ing  message  to	 those users who have reached their softlimit.	It is
       typically run via cron(8).

       -F quotaformat
	      Perform setting for specified format (ie. don't perform  format
	      autodetection).	Possible  format names are: vfsold (version 1
	      quota), vfsv0 (version 2 quota),	rpc  (quota  over  NFS),  xfs
	      (quota on XFS filesystem)

       -q quotatab
	      Use  quotatab  instead  of  /etc/quotatab	 as  file with device
	      description strings (see example file for syntax).

       -c configfile
	      Use configfile instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as	configuration
	      file (see example file for syntax).

       -a adminsfile
	      Use  adminsfile  instead	of /etc/quotagrpadmins as a file with
	      administrators of the groups.

       -u     check whether users are not exceeding quotas (default).

       -g     check whether groups are not  exceeding  quotas.	If  group  is
	      exceeding	 quota	a  mail	 is  sent  to  the  user specified in
	      /etc/quotagrpadmins.

       -s     Try to report used space, number of used inodes and  limits  in
	      more appropriate units than the default ones.

       -i     ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter.
