NAME

       ncftpbatch - Individual batch FTP job processor

SYNOPSIS

       ncftpbatch -d

       ncftpbatch -l

       ncftpbatch -D

OPTIONS

   Command line flags:
       -d      Begin background processing of FTP jobs in the current user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory.  This
               returns immediately, because a daemon process is spawned and ran in the background.

       -l      Lists the contents of the user's job queue.

       -D      This is like -d, except that the process does not become a daemon.

DESCRIPTION

       This program is responsible for processing background FTP requests.  It is normally only run by ncftp and
       not manually by a human being, however you can run it to manually process the FTP job queue.

       The  jobs  are spool files written to a user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory and have a special format and
       file-naming convention (which contains when the job is to be run).  ncftp runs this program when it needs
       to, but if the ncftpbatch daemon dies unexpectedly the jobs that are  left  in  the  queue  will  not  be
       processed until another instance of ncftpbatch is run.

       ncftpget  and  ncftpput  can  also be used to submit jobs for batch processing, using those utilities' -b
       command-line flag.  If desired, you can also manually create the spool files although this  procedure  is
       not documented here (see the manual page for ncftpspooler for more information on how to do that).

DIAGNOSTICS

       ncftpbatch  writes to its own log file, the $HOME/.ncftp/spool/log file.  This file should be examined to
       determine if any ncftpbatch processes are actively working on jobs.
