Q – 1 Tell me how to give quotas on cpu?

Ans- The quota system (available only on ufs and vxfs filesystems) is built around limits on the two principal resources of a filesystem:

* inodes
* data blocks

For each of these resources, users can be assigned quotas. Two limits can be used: hard limit and soft limit. The hard limit represents an absolute limit on the resource. Associated with the soft limit is a time limit set by the administrator. Users can exceed the soft limits for a limited amount of time.
In summary, for each user, you can assign quotas (soft and hard limits) for both blocks and inodes. Also a time limit can be set indicating how long users can exceed the soft limits.

Remember:

only super-user (root) can set disk quota.
