% VAX-11 Librarian V04-00TVC ͐`C ͐  5 SOFTQUOTA `C ͐ 1 SOFTQUOTA>SOFTQUOTA is designed to be a work-around for the "hard" quota@limit imposed by DEC's diskquota mechanism. It allows a user to8have a large working space during a login session, while=keeping residual disk usage at a minimum. SOFTQUOTA compares:current disk usage to a "soft" quota value assigned by the>system manager and displays an appropriate message. If a user?has exceeded the soft quota, his hard quota is set to equal his@soft quota. The original hard quota may be restored by cleaningup and invoking SOFTQUOTA.

This section lists the qualifiers! 2 Qualifiers/MODIFY>This switch will cause the hardquota for the current UIC to be<set to the soft quota value. This switch should not be usedAduring a working session. If /MODIFY is not specified, a message&is displayed and quota is not dropped. /NOUNIQUEABy default, SOFTQUOTA will not p erform the MODIFY step if another>process exists with the same UIC.

Therefore, DISKQUOTAs must be implementedIon a volume for SOFTQUOTA to work. If quotas are not active on a volume,,SOFTQUOTA displays an informational message. LA user's soft quota value is stored in an ISAM file ([000000]SOFTQUOTA.DAT),Findexed by UIC. If the UIC is not found in the file, the program willCuse the values store in the DEFAULT record (KEY = -3). Entries may2be added/modified/removed with the SOFTDB utility.!&! Tell SYSMGR how to install it! !2 Installation4SOFTQUOTA should be defined in the system DCL tablesBand run at login time with the /MODIFY option to allow the program>to drop an abuser's hardquota. To avoid clobbering batch jobs=(when there is no human available to correct the problem) the2following check should be made for its invocation:1 $ IF F$MODE() .NES.
