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  work-
     ing on jobs.
