== What is it? ==
"<code>seon_oftp2_offlinehandling</code>" is a daemon which runs on a seperate machine, without needing an Seon license. It needs an Seon configuration file (default: "<code>/etc/seon.conf</code>") in order to access the database, containing the Seon configuration and parameters.

When the configuration flag "[[Seon Core configuration#Enable offline handling of OFTP2_transfered files.3F]]" is enabled, all received files via OFTP2 will be added to a special table. This table, filled with all file parameters, will be traversed by the daemon. The main task is to handle (decrypt, decompress and/or check signature) the incoming files asynchronously on another machine, achieving the highest security.

== parameters ==
There are several ways to customize the behaviour of this daemon. Please have a look at the configuration settings with all subsections [[[[Seon Core configuration#Enable offline handling of OFTP2_transfered files.3F]]|here]].

== scripts ==
There are two script, which get executed when accessible. These scripts have the following parameters:
=== pre-script ===
#real filename
#server ID

=== post-script ===
#real filename
#server ID
#returncode of OFTP2 handling process (0=no error)

		+	== Behaviour ==
		+	The main behaviour is as follows:
		+	#check database table for new entry ('<code>status=0</code>')
		+	#if entry exists:
		+	##run pre-script
		+	###if pre-scripts return with error abort

		+	#check for next entry
		+	#if no entry exists, sleep for defined timeslice
		+
		+	So, the following return code states are:
		+
		+	=== pre-script returncode handling ===
		+	If the returncode of the pre-script is not 0, further handling will not occur. The error (command call, returncode & output) will be logged in the receive log. The status of the entry will be set to "<code>2</code>".
		+
		+	If the returncode is zero, handling continues.
		+
		+	=== post-script returncode handling ===
		+	If the returncode of the post-script is not 0, the error (command call, returncode & output) will be logged in the receive log. The status of the entry will be set to "<code>6</code>". The entry will not be removed from the table.
