                      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
