Warning the user at 95%, 97% and 99% using the warning scripts is easy
and was already configured and is working like a charm.

Disabling the account in a nightly cronjob will be easy as well. Since I
use the Mysql-dict for quota, I can just query that, compare the value
to the configured quota from LDAP and act accordingly.

But how do I instantly reenable the account when it drops below 100%
with the warning scripts? As far as I understand the documentation, they
are only triggered if the quota use rises over the configured
thresholds.

I seem to somehow miss a piece, but I cannot see which one.

Sven.
