Author quota question

I have turned on quota for users on filesystem home fs type ext3

I have added the quotacheck and quotaon to the RC2.d init via a symbolic
link from init.d

The manpages and all quota docs say add quotacheck to cron for a weekly
run I have done that

However quotacheck manpages recommend not running on live filesystems
with quotaon (quotasystem active)

Am I to tunoff quotas check then turn em back on? I am confusified here...

Also how would I make the weekly or daily check of overquota folks then
mail out to users that they are over quota? I assume I would use
repquota -a and either send the output to admin and manually send email
warnings (yuck). Or what I would really like to do is have it send to
users who are over quota as well as admin account.

Thanks in advance for hints.

BTW I RTFM already so FO if all you have is a RTFM response
