quotatool is a utility for setting filesystem quotas from the command line. It supports Linux (versions 2.6, 2.4, and 2.2, with ext2, ext3, ReiserFS, and XFS), Solaris, and AIX.
Today i installed quotatool on Linux server as i need to change quota of a user, i have done with edquota command available in Linux, this will open vi editor for editing quota.
quotatool is command line tool, i installed it as i want to see how it works.
