CHKSTORE is a package which will check on the use of space on user's home directories. It they exceed a limit imposed on them, then the system will "revoke" that user by changing access of their home directory and all their subdirectories to be RDA. If a user has been "revoked" and their home directory is either increased or the user deletes some files then the package will "unrevoke" the user by giving them full access back to their directory. CHKSTORE doesn't constantly monitor home directories. The LAN administrator must schedule the program to run at specific times in order for the checks and actions to be made. This package includes a storage management system, including CHKSTORE and other useful tools, a logon warning system and a user tool to display status of space used on a Lan drive.
