This script creates a new user account, but I want it to limit the amount of storage space that account is allowed. Can anyone help me do this? Thanks. Code: #!/bin/bash emailgroupfolder=/home/emailgroup ## the folder in which you want new emailaccount homes to be created emailgroupname=emailgroup ## the linux group to which your new email users will be assigned useraddpath=/usr/sbin/useradd ## the path to the command useradd on your system (it's probably the same) fname=$1 lname=$2 username=$3 password=$4 userlist=`cat /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1 -s | grep $username` enc_password=`/usr/bin/htpasswd2 -nb $username $password | cut -f2 -d :` if [ $# -ne 4 ]; then echo "error6" ## There are more than or fewer than 4 arguments (Somebody has put down their middle name, or left off their last name) exit 1 fi if [ "$username" = "$userlist" ] ; then ## Username already exists on the system echo "error7" exit 7; fi case "$fname" in *[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error2"; exit 2;; ## First Name contains illegal characters *);; esac case "$lname" in *[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error3"; exit 3;; ## Last Name contains illegal characters *);; esac case "$username" in *[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error4"; exit 4;; ## Username contains illegal characters *);; esac case "$password" in *[!a-zA-Z0-9]*) echo "error5"; exit 5;; ## Password contains illegal characters *);; esac /usr/sbin/useradd -m -c "$fname $lname" -d $emailgroupfolder/$username -p $enc_password -s '/bin/false' -g $emailgroupname -G 8 $username echo "success" exit 0 fi
First, you must enable quotafor that system. Afterwards you can set quota with the setquota command: Code: man setquota
