!!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.
