I was wondering if there was a way to notify a user that they are
exceeding their quota, other than quota check or other utility that is
run when a user logs in over telnet.  I run a mail server and a web
server where people use eudora and ftp only, so they don't get a
chance to see any messages that might be displayed when loggin in.

The program that I think would satisfy my needs the most is an email
notification program that is run daily, checks the quotas, and if they
are exceeding their quota to email then, and let them know.

Thanx in advance.
