## NAME
       ncftpbatch - Individual batch FTP job processor

## SYNOPSIS
       **ncftpbatch** -d

       **ncftpbatch** -l

       **ncftpbatch** -D

## OPTIONS
### Command line flags:
### -d
               rectory.  This returns immediately, because a daemon process is spawned  and  ran  in
               the background.

### -l

### -D -d

## 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.
