Hi all, We're running a 4D/80GT with 16 megs core and 2x380 megs disk memory as a multi-user machine on a network (DECNET - we're using 4DDN.) Besides graphics, the iris is used as number-cruncher by several users, and this implies that I have to check the disk space frequently in order to avoid reaching the 100%. This bothers me, and I know disquota tools from CONVEX and CRAY. The workaround I use now is that I try to run groups of users in different partitions, which works fairly well. However, now one user is able to sabotage his entire group. Therefore, I'd like to have a disquota utility which * measures the space used by a single user * compares this value with a value stored in a table * sets the user to a restricted shell enabling him to delete the files causing the trouble. I think that there might be some of you having the same problem. Thanks for any suggestions and hints.
