Hello!

I am about to setup a quota for all my users, and would like to know if
there is a way to "edquota" all users at the same time.
<group: others, 20>.<SunOS 4.1.3>
Thanks!

Salut, Nabil Z.

for i in `grep ":20: /etc/passwd `
do
edquota -p prototype-user $i
done

you may want to tweak `grep ":20: /etc/passwd ` part or replace it
with `cat file ` where file has list of all users you want to set
up quota for.

prototype-user is a sample user crafted by hand.

RTFM on edquota ....

 edquota -p prototype-user `grep :20: /etc/passwd | cut -d: -f1`

 assuming the list isn't excessive. Use xargs in that case.
