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  manu
       ally  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.
