To set up the cron job for transcoding as root, open the crontab:

crontab –e


Insert the following line and save the file afterwards:

*/1 * * * * /PATH/TO/VIMP/scripts/sync_new_uploads.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 


Replace PATH/TO/VIMP/ with the actual path of your installation.

Important: Close the line with "Return/Enter". There must be at least one more blank line below the entry.

The script is called every minute. If there are no new files available the script terminates automatically.
