web-based telnet-quota system?

[Anon]

hi, we have a netapp filer that stores all our user home directory. there's a text-based config file that controls the uesr quotas.

currently, to changed user quota, we need to edit the quota file, telnet to netapp, execute a "quota off" and then "quota on" command to effect the change.

i'm thinking of writing a web-based program to automate this process.

pls kindly advise how should i go about doing it.

thanks.

Well.

That should give you a place to start. Everything you need to make TCP/IP connections from PHP is there :-)
