Yes. As stated in another answer, you can use "timeout" command (see "man 1 timeout"). But there is also built-in lftp command "at", so you can run something like: lftp <<EOF at 06:00 -- exit kill & get -c http://example.org/huge-file.zip EOF Exactly at 6am lftp will kill running jobs (the "get" job) and exit. You can also use "at" to start jobs, set rate-limit, etc. For example: lftp <<EOF repeat --weak at 00:00 -- set net:limit-total-rate 10M & repeat --weak at 06:00 -- set net:limit-total-rate 100k & get -c http://example.org/huge-file.zip EOF -- Alexander. _______________________________________________ lftp mailing list lftp@uniyar.ac.ru http://univ.uniyar.ac.ru/mailman/listinfo/lftp
