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 man-
     ually 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.
