>(e.g. from crontab)?

It can be run on a live system, but will compile inaccurate statistics.

>If quotacheck is skipped, does "quotaon" still work properly?

What is `proper'?  Quotaon will still turn on quotas, but if the
quota files are inaccurate (as they will be if quotacheck has not
been run, or was run on a live filesystem) the actual quotas enforced
will be somewhat erratic.
