34 Begin background processing of FTP jobs in the current
35 user's $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory. This returns
36 immediately, because a daemon process is spawned and ran in
37 the background.

49 This is like __-d__, except that the process does not
50 become a daemon.
51 !!DESCRIPTION
52
53
54 This program is responsible for processing background FTP
55 requests. It is normally only run by ''ncftp'' and not
56 manually by a human being, however you can run it to
57 manually process the FTP job queue.
58
59
60 The jobs are spool files written to a user's
61 $HOME/.ncftp/spool directory and have a special format and
62 file-naming convention (which contains when the job is to be
63 run). ''ncftp'' runs this program when it needs to, but
64 if the ''ncftpbatch'' daemon dies unexpectedly the jobs
65 that are left in the queue will not be processed until
66 another instance of ''ncftpbatch'' is run.
67
68
69 ''ncftpget'' and ''ncftpput'' can also be used to
70 submit jobs for batch processing, using those utilities'
71 __-b__ command-line flag. If desired, you can also
72 manually create the spool files although this procedure is
73 not documented here (see the manual page for
74 ''ncftpspooler'' for more information on how to do
75 that).
76 !!DIAGNOSTICS
77
78
79 ''ncftpbatch'' writes to its own log file, the
80 $HOME/.ncftp/spool/log file. This file should be examined to
81 determine if any ''ncftpbatch'' processes are actively
82 working on jobs.
