[OT] Prevent temporally suspend/hibernate from script?

Hi,
This doubt isn't specifically about lftp but it involves. When I 
download several files from my server via lftp, it can take hours to 
complete. How prevent temporally suspend/hibernate from script?
Regards.

Best values for a fast reconnection

Hi,
Actually I have this values to reconnect:

    set net:reconnect-interval-base 10;
    set net:reconnect-interval-multiplier 1.2;
    set net:reconnect-interval-max 30;

But with this values, lftp takes several minutes to reconnect. Which are 
the best values for a fast reconnection?
Regards.

Probably you also need to set net:timeout to a low value (e.g. 30 seconds).
Turn on debug and see what happens.

Mirroring during the day and during the night at two different transfer rates

Hi there,
I'm new to the list and I have a question I couldn't answer searching on the 
web.
I'm using lftp to perform a big mirror between two servers.

I want to give lftp the maximum bandwidth only during night and weekends 
because one of the servers is a production web server and I don't want to 
saturate its bandwidth during the day.

My current strategy is to use two different scripts to start the mirroring: the 
first is "slow_mirror.lftp":

debug -o /var/log/lftp_mirror.log 3
open example.com
user myuser mysecret
set net:connection-limit 1
set net:limit-rate 204800
mirror -c --use-cache . /home/mirror
exit

and the other is "fast_mirror.lftp":

debug -o /var/log/lftp_mirror.log 3
open example.com
user myuser mysecret
mirror -c --use-cache . /home/mirror
exit

The I have some cron jobs which kills lftp and restart it with the appropriate 
script in the morning and in the evening.

Yes, use this script:

    repeat at 23:00 "set net:limit-rate 0" &
    repeat at 09:00 "set net:limit-rate 204800" &
    mirror -c . /home/mirror
    exit kill

Run this script at night, or add another line to limit the rate at the start.

You can even change mirror to "repeat mirror" to run it in a loop.
Variations:
    repeat 4h mirror ...
	add a 4 hour break between mirrors
    repeat at 23:00 mirror
	start next mirror at 23:00

Then the script never ends and you can start it from the init scripts.

Thank you very much Alexander! LFtp is so much awesome I can't believe it 
exists!

Variables....

Re: Variables....

Hi,

To see what you can set:
lftp> set -a

Put any set commands in your $HOME/.lftprc, e.g.:
set cmd:verify-host no
set cmd:verify-path no

You can add aliases in the lftprc, e.g.:
alias lm set net:limit-total-rate 2500:2500

Does this answer your question?

Justin.
