RQUOTAD(8)               System Manager's Manual              RQUOTAD(8)

NAME

       quota_nld - quota netlink message daemon

SYNOPSIS

       quota_nld [[ -D | -C ][ -F ][ -b ]]

DESCRIPTION

       quota_nld listens on netlink socket and processes received quota
       warnings. By default quota_nld forwards warning messages to both
       the system's DBUS (so that the desktop manager can display a
       dialog) and the last-accessed terminal of the user to whom each
       warning is directed. Either of these destinations can be disabled
       with the -D and -C options, respectively.

       In the case of the user's terminal, quota messages about falling
       below the hard and soft limits are not sent unless the -b option
       is specified. In the case of the DBUS, all quota messages are
       sent.

       Note, that you have to enable the kernel support for sending
       quota messages over netlink (in Filesystems->Quota menu).

OPTIONS

       -V, --version
              Show version of quota tools and exit.

       -h, --help
              Show a usage message and exit.

       -D, --no-dbus
              Do not forward quota warnings to DBUS.

       -C, --no-console
              Do not print quota warnings to the user's last-accessed
              terminal.

       -b, --print-below
              If quota warnings are printed to users' terminals, include
              messages about falling below their hard and soft limits.

       -F, --foreground
              Run daemon in foreground (may be useful for debugging
              purposes).
