+Make sure you use <code>chmod +x copyjob.sh</code> to make it executeable.\\
 Create a cronjob for it by inserting the following line to the end in<code> vi /etc/crontab</code> <code sh crontab>0 * * * * /records/copyjob.sh >/dev/null 2>&1</code>
 The job will be executed everytime the clock hits 0 minutes (for example 1:00pm 2.00am...)
+==== Troubleshooting ====
+If the copyjob fails because of "too many arguments" its because mv *.jpg extends that command to mv blabla.jpg xyz.jpg etc... Too many files then cause that error because the command is too long. Instead of the mv command above in the script you can use
+<code bash>
+find $BASEPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $NETPATHJPG \;
+</code>
+Like this:
+<code bash>
+find $BASEPATH -name ".avi" -exec mv {} $COPYPATH \;
+sleep 10
+find $BASEPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $COPYPATH \;
+sleep 10
+find $COPYPATH -name ".avi" -exec mv {} $NETPATHAVI \;
+sleep 10
+find $COPYPATH -name ".jpg" -exec mv {} $NETPATHJPG \;
+sleep 10
