Lftp default timeout and retry?
Where can I find the defaults for lftp? Eg net:max-retries and net:timeout.
I'm asking because I get some **** Data socket error (Connection timed out) - reconnecting message in my lftp debug log. And it seems to retry forever if I don't quit the process manually. Which is bad for cron jobs.
Questions:
How could I explicit set the timeout and retries for one special script, which is as follows:
lftp -c "
open $HOST
user $USER $PASS
lcd $SOURCEFOLDER
mirror --delete --verbose $FSOURCE $FTARGET
exit
"
And how could I catch any sync errors in the batch file above, so that I could eg send an email notification on max timeouts?

Are you by any chance looking for the--while-okswitch mentioned in the man page?

Still I don't know how to find out the defaults. But could change them as follows:
lftp -c "
set net:timeout 5;
set net:max-retries 3;
set net:reconnect-interval-multiplier 1;
set net:reconnect-interval-base 5;
open $HOST
user $USER $PASS
lcd $SOURCEFOLDER
mirror --delete --verbose $FSOURCE $FTARGET
exit

try set -d to view default value of lftp variable. if net:max-retries is set to 0 means unlimited. 1 means no retries.

try echo $? lftp should return a value other then 0 in case of errors

Of course$?gives the exit code if lftp exists with error. BUT the problem here is that by default lftp tried to reconnect endless times by default. So the exitcode evaluation would never take place, as the code is never reached.

did you try set -d to view default value? I guess that max-retries is set to 0, this is why your command did not end. So, I think your answer is correct.
