How can i monitor how many disk space a user will use...
i use now a program that is monitoring how many data-traffic the user has been used, i have installed the crontab that he must refresh that monitoring of the data-traffic,, and that works fine...
that program is webalizer..

but my question is...
the same thins as monitoring the data-triffic but now for the disk-space is using the user...


does anyone knows a realy good program for it?

i use a disk-space monitor program that's named: PHPsysinfo
that program will monitor your whole linux server...

but that program is monitoring the system global...

i must have a program that is monitoring user by user...


understand???

Use 'repquota -a' and use cron to mail the output to you daily.

0 0 * * * repquota -a | mail your@address

i have just add a new file in my /etc dir
named: cronjob

i have put there 0,30 **** repquota -a | mail my@email.com

know he will sent me an email every half hour...

is this command line correctly for the repquota ??

he have send the mail...
only the post is empty!!

look..

From: "root" <root@server> | Block Address | Add to Address Book

To: my@mail.com

if i send an mail to my linux server himself...
he will display:

If you have a control panel on your server just log-into it and then check your server stats...

What control panle do you mean ??

Don't you have a control panel like Plesk, CPanel or Ensim? Who is your server with? How are your clients managing their accounts?

The email you got had an error message which indicated that the command repquota was not found, which means that if repquota is on the server, it is not in any of the directories in the PATH environment variables available to your shell under cron. :)

repquota may be in /usr/sbin or some other directory, which you will need to specify in your command.

first... do 'locate repquota' to find out where it is...
then modify your crontab to include the full path to repquota, as in...

0,30 **** /usr/sbin/repquota -a | mail my@email.com

Do you really need to check for disk usage that often? Every half an hour is a bit too often for that. Or do you have other reasons?

noooo!!... not every half hour, that's to much!!
once a day or something,,
