+## Invoking Jobwatch
+
+```
+jobwatch -h
+Usage of jobwatch:
+  -d    Debug
+  -i string
+        JobId Instance. Default ''
+  -j string
+        JobId. reads $jobDir/$job.job.yml Default ''
+  -jd string
+        JobDir. Default: $HOME/etc/jobwatch.d /etc/jobwatch.d'
+  -- After this parameter every further parameter is passed to the
+     called program
+
+Without any parameters CheckMK-Agent-Output is generated
+```        
+
+Example1 from an crontab
+```
+10 9 * * 0       root   /usr/local/bin/jobwatch -j bu-dupl
+```
+
+Example2 from an crontab, here we use the same job for
+different instances. (In this e.g. we have backup-sets)
+```
+10 5 * * 0,3 root       /usr/local/bin/jobwatch -j bu-borg -i b01-main -- /opt/borg/B01_main.borgjob
+10 5 * * 1,4 root       /usr/local/bin/jobwatch -j bu-borg -i b10-dvp -- /opt/borg/B10_dvp.borgjob
+```
+
+### Instances/Multiuser
+
+See "Invoking jobwatch above"
+
+> Note instance-names have the same restrictions as job-names
+
+When using instances, the final job name in the output is `[userid]/[job-name]_[instance-name]`, otherwise only `[userid]/[job-name]`
+
+
+
+
+## TBD:
 - redirect script-output to a logfile via Config
 - job-timeout
 - more metrics (last-success-ful run )
