| 8 | Whenever a user tries to print a document, if he is over his print quota, |
|---|
| 9 | then the job is refused. Depending on <application>PyKota</application>'s |
|---|
| 10 | configuration, especially the <literal>mailto</literal> option, he and/or |
|---|
| 11 | the administrator may eventually receive an email message which explains |
|---|
| 12 | the situation and invites him to solve the problem before being allowed |
|---|
| 13 | to print again. |
|---|
| 14 | </para> |

| 16 | <para> |
|---|
| 17 | However this may not be sufficient, and you may want to warn users who |
|---|
| 18 | have reached their print quota at |
|---|
| 19 | regular intervals, like every day, for example in a <application>cron</application> job. |
|---|
| 20 | </para> |

| 21 | |
|---|
| 22 | <para> |
|---|
| 23 | This may be useful if the user has reached his print quota, and have received an email message telling him so, |
|---|
| 24 | but then he doesn't print for some days and may forget to solve the problem, by buying more |
|---|
| 25 | paper for example. |
|---|
| 26 | </para> |

| 27 | |
|---|
| 28 | <para> |
|---|
| 29 | The <application>warnpykota</application> command was written with this in mind. |
|---|
| 30 | If you put this command in your <filename>crontab</filename>, launching it for example |
|---|
| 31 | every day, then you'll be sure that all your users who are above their print quota |
|---|
| 32 | will not forget it ! |
