The command "sudo edquota -p ${reference_user} ${destination_user1} ${destination_user2}" is used to copy the disk quota settings of a reference user (specified as ${reference_user}) to one or more destination users (specified as ${destination_user1} and ${destination_user2}).

Here is a breakdown of the command:

• "sudo": It is a command that allows the execution of the following command with superuser (root) privileges. This is often required for administrative tasks.

• "edquota": It is the main command used to manage disk quotas in Linux. It allows you to view or edit the disk quota settings of users.

• "-p": It is an option used with the "edquota" command to specify that you want to copy the disk quota settings from a reference user to other users.

• "${reference_user}": It is a placeholder that should be replaced with the name of the user whose disk quota settings you want to use as a reference.

• "${destination_user1} ${destination_user2}": These are placeholders that should be replaced with the names of the users to whom you want to apply the disk quota settings copied from the reference user. You can specify multiple destination users separated by spaces.

Overall, this command allows you to quickly copy disk quota settings from one user to multiple users, simplifying the process of managing disk quotas for multiple users with similar requirements.
