A note about the future of ecsoft2.org

ecsoft2.org runs on software (Drupal 7 and PHP 7.4) that reached its end of life years ago and no longer receives security updates. Keeping the site online safely is getting harder.

Giving it a future means migrating it to a current platform — and that is only worth doing if people still use it and want to help keep it alive.

If you care about ecsoft2.org, as a user, a contributor, or someone willing to lend a hand, please ggambatiscali [dot] it (get in touch) by January 31, 2027.

If no one comes forward by then, the site will be turned into a read-only archive, so that its content stays available.

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.

This software is distributed as compressed package. You have to download and manually install it; if prerequisites are required, you will have to manually install them too.
