<H2><A NAME="ss5.1">5.1 Quotacheck</A>
</H2>

<P>
<P>Quotacheck is used to scan a file system for disk usages, and updates the
quota record file "aquota.user" to the most recent state. I recommend running
quotacheck at system bootup, and via cronjob periodically (say, every week?).
<H2><A NAME="ss5.2">5.2 Repquota</A>
</H2>

<P>
<P>Repquota produces a summarized quota information for a file system. Here
is a sample output repquota gives:

<H2><A NAME="ss5.3">5.3 Quotaon and Quotaoff</A>
</H2>

<P>
<P>Quotaon is used to turn on quota accounting; quotaoff to turn it off. Actually
both files are similar. They are executed at system startup and shutdown.
