1 SOFTDB ! SOFTDB is a maintenance utility for the SOFTQUOTA database. It is the tool with which suitably privileged users may limit the amount of space individual users may consume on public disk volumes. The softquota value imposes a limit on how much space a user may have for PERMANENT storage of files whereas the regular (hard)quota restricts allocation dynamically during the life of a job. For more information, invoke SOFTDB and type "HELP".
