Quota Bash Script
I want to be able to run a bash script that will add user quotas to a specified user. I am currently using webmin to manage my quotas but would like to remove this dependency. When I add a user that I want to use a quota for, I add them through webmin and webmin sets it up automagically. I can write a script myself for adding a user and such but the way we edit quotas (edquota user) is weird and I do not know how to change it from a bash script.
For instance: I will run a script that will add a user AND give them a soft limit of 90MB and hard of 100MB.
Is there a simple program/command that I am missing that will do this for me? Is anybody able to help? Thanks

I've never used the command myself but it looks like the command 'setquota' is the one you're looking for.
