ncftpbatch(1)                          General Commands Manual                         ncftpbatch(1)



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 di‐
               rectory.  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 util‐
       ities'  -b  command-line  flag.  If desired, you can also manually create the spool files al‐
       though 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.
