+                      JAILER README
+
+This software is for those who have used jails and want a
+controlled way to manage and shut them down etc...
+
+
+It is to be installed inside a jail (NOT THE HOST SYSTEM)
+and will manage the processes. A jailer process runs inside
+each jail and manages the startup and shutdown.
+
+
+To shutdown or restart the jail, signal the jailer process
+running inside that jail. The signals are:
+
+
+ -QUIT	Shutdown jail but leave jailer running
+ -HUP   Restart the jail
+ -TERM  Shutdown the jail and exit the jailer
+
+
