Command line flags:
<blockquote>
<DL>
<DT><B>-d</B> </DT>
<DD> Begin background processing of FTP jobs in the
current user's <tt>$HOME/.ncftp/spool</tt> directory. This
returns immediately, because a daemon process is
spawned and ran in the background.
</DD>
<DT><B>-l</B> </DT>
<DD> Lists the contents of the user's job queue.

<DT><B>-D</B> </DT>
<DD> This is like <B>-d</B>, except that the process does not
become a daemon.

<H2><B>Description</B></H2>
<P>
This program is responsible for processing background FTP
requests. It is normally only run by <I>ncftp</I> and not manually
by a human being, however you can run it to manually
process the FTP job queue.
<P>
The jobs are spool files written to a user's
<tt>$HOME/.ncftp/spool</tt> directory and have a special format and
file-naming convention (which contains when the job is to
be run). <I>ncftp</I> runs this program when it needs to, but if
the <I>ncftpbatch</I> daemon dies unexpectedly the jobs that are
left in the queue will not be processed until another
instance of <I>ncftpbatch</I> is run.
<P>
<I>ncftpget</I> and <I>ncftpput</I> can also be used to submit jobs for
batch processing, using those utilities' <B>-b</B> command-line
flag.
If desired, you can also manually create the spool files
although this procedure is not documented here (see the manual
page for
<i>ncftpspooler</i>
for more information on how to do that).
<H2><B>Diagnostics</B></H2>
<P>
<I>ncftpbatch</I> writes to its own log file, the
<tt>$HOME/.ncftp/spool/log</tt> file. This file should be examined
to determine if any <I>ncftpbatch</I> processes are actively
working on jobs.
