DESCRIPTION

   warnquota checks the disk quota for specified local filesystems (or for
   each local filesystem if none specified) and mails a warning message to
   those users who have reached their softlimit.  It is typically run  via
   cron(8).

   -F, --format=quotaformat
          Perform  setting  for specified format (ie. don't perform format
          autodetection).  Possible  format  names  are:  vfsold  Original
          quota  format  with  16-bit UIDs / GIDs, vfsv0 Quota format with
          32-bit UIDs / GIDs, 64-bit space usage, 32-bit inode  usage  and
          limits,  vfsv1  Quota format with 64-bit quota limits and usage,
          xfs Quota on XFS filesystem.

   -q, --quota-tab=quotatab
          Use quotatab  instead  of  /etc/quotatab  as  file  with  device
          description strings (see quotatab(5) for syntax).

   -c, --config=configfile
          Use  configfile  instead of /etc/warnquota.conf as configuration
          file (see warnquota.conf(5) for syntax).

   -a, --admins-file=adminsfile
          Use adminsfile instead of /etc/quotagrpadmins  as  a  file  with
          administrators of the groups (see quotagrpadmins(5) for syntax).

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

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

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

   -i, --no-autofs
          ignore mountpoints mounted by automounter.

   -d, --no-details
          do not attach quota report in email.
