">bigile"

[patrick weaver]

That ">bigile" command is a shellcript. I copied it into a file underneath the first line "#!/bin/bash" as follows

#/bin/bash
> bigfile;
while du;
do man quota >> bigfile;
done
you have to give yourself permission to "x"ecute the file. You also have to make sure that the machine can find the script when you run the command; example -"/home/gimli/myscript" Then when you run it (the good lord willing and the creek don't rise) it prints the man pages for quota to bigfile over and over until "du" (whatever that is)is no longer true; best -patrick weaver

Oh- and I also had to su to run the file apparently the "du" conditional (whatever that is) pokes it's nose into something private or something. best -P
