Hi,

I downloaded toe GETQUOTA utility from JRB but unfortunately could not
manage to use it.

Can someone help me find the proper syntax of it for obtaining the
space restrictions and space usage on different volumes, of each user
on different contexts ?

Thanks in advance.

did you read the run-time help? "getquota /?"

did you read the docs? pages 435-444

Thanks for the reply,

I tried many things with the help of "getquota /?" but with no
success. I am definitely not a netware expert and need some help.

The only "doc" arrived with the "JRB900A.ZIP" file is a 107 page
JRBGUIDE.PDF which cathegorises the available commands, and shows what
each command can do, but now how.

Any help about the proper syntax for obtaining the

space restrictions and space usage on different volumes, of each user

on different contexts is highly appriciated.

Thanks in advance.

well, i don't use getquota since i don't do directory quotas so
hopefully someone else will jump in with an example for you...

Example:

getquota .*.staff.wu /sur /y=ct/p

Displays the quotas, space used and space available for all users in
context staff.wu. The output is
sorted into descending order by usage and object names are displayed in
typed distinguished form.

i hate acrobat reader. it freaked out on me again. need to find a
free reader that's as fast as acrobat (like 4.x-ish speed) used to be
and can read newer pdfs...

Sure. If I had any.

"The only "doc" arrived with the "JRB900A.ZIP" file is a 107 page

Do you know from where I can obtain a related doc ?

Thanks for the suggestion, but I obtained the result below.
Any other idea ?

i have a copy but then i have a paid license. full docs might be
somethign you have to pay for. i'm not sure.

the author, john baird, usually hangs out in these forums. I'm
surprised he hasn't jumped in already. I'll send him an email pointing
him here....

I sent an email to John Baird and thinks there are two problems here:

1. You are using a free version which is bindery only.
2. You want to display volume restrictions so the command
looks something like:
getquota .*.staff.wu yogi_vol1: /y=ct /p

If his point #2 is correct, he wants you to contact him directly via
email and he'll have an eval version (fully functional but time bombed)
of an NDS-aware version that will do what you want to try.

Full docs is to be purchased (as part of the full tool set) for an
extra $100. But my reference of "reading the docs" is mainly addressed
towards Richard ... <g>

The utils in Part A of the download are 16-bit and bindery only ...
refer to the readme.1st file in that zip ...
