+===== Error due to old flock version =====
+when this script is run on an older linux distribution such as CentOS 6.5 for example, the provided version of flock is too old to know the ''-E'' option which specifies an exit code in case the lock could not be acquired. in such a situation you can patch the mobi.sh script using this command:
+  sed -i '/-E 66/-n/' mobi.sh
+this will make the script work on those systems. however, since now the exit code of flock is ''1'' when it can't acquire a lock the error message displayed in such a case might be a bit misleading, as it is the same as displayed in case of a syntax error in the rsync call. so keep that in mind when debugging such cases.
