%	I want to write a script that will check the disk usage of a group
%of users periodically.  I want to be able to warn them when they first exceed
%a limit, wait a few days and then automatically compress their files or
%remove the newest files that put them over the limit.
%        I'm hoping that someone has already done this and will be happy
%to help out.  Please send mail to arthur at ccwf.ccutexas.edu.  Scripting in
%any shell and/or alernate solutions will be joyfully accepted.

Why not just install disk quotas?
