 =======
 
 NEW in Bastille version 1.1.20250814
 
 The ``monitor`` sub-command adds, removes, lists and enables/disables monitoring for container services.
 
-.. code-block:: shell
 
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor help                            ## display monitor help
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor TARGET add "service1 service2"  ## add the services "service1" and "service2" to TARGET monitoring
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor TARGET delete service1          ## delete service "service1" from TARGET monitoring
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor TARGET list                     ## list services monitored on TARGET
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor ALL list                        ## list monitored services from ALL containers
+Managing Bastille Monitor
+-------------------------
 
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor -s                              ## return monitoring cronjob status
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor -e                              ## enable monitoring cronjob
-  ishmael ~ # bastille monitor -d                              ## disable monitoring cronjob
+To enable Bastille monitoring, run ``bastille monitor enable``.
 
-.. code-block:: shell
+To disable Bastille monitoring, run ``bastille monitor disable``.
 
-    ishmael ~ # bastille monitor help
-    Usage: bastille monitor [option(s)] TARGET [add|delete|list] [service1 service2]
+We can always check if Bastille monitoring is active with ``bastille monitor status``.
 
-    Options:
 
-    -x | --debug      Enable debug mode.
-    -e | --enable     Enable (install) bastille-monitor cronjob. Configurable in bastille.conf.
-    -d | --disable    Disable (uninstall) bastille-monitor cronjob.
-    -s | --status     Return monitor status (Enabled or Disabled).
+Managing Services
+-----------------
+
+Bastille Monitor will attempt to monitor any services defined for any given container. If the service is
+stopped, Bastille will attempt to restart it. Everything is logged in ``${bastille_monitor_logfile}``.
+
+To have Bastille monitor a service, run ``bastille monitor TARGET add SERVICE``. The ``SERVICE`` arg can also be a
+comma-separated list of services such as ``bastille monitor TARGET add SERVICE1,SERVICE2``.
+
+To remove a service from monitoring, we can run ``bastille monitor TARGET delete SERVICE``. These can also be a
+comma-separated list.
+
+To show all services that Bastille is monitoring, run ``bastille monitor TARGET list``.
+
+To list all jails that have a selected service defined for monitoring, run ``bastille monitor TARGET list SERVICE``.
+This option only accepts a single ``SERVICE``, and cannot be a comma-separated list.
+
+If you run ``bastille monitor TARGET``, without any args or actions, Bastille will run through the process of
+checking the status of each defined service, and attempt to start any that are stopped.
+
+Services can also be manually added or removed by editing the ``monitor`` file inside the jail directory, but
+is not recommended unless you are an advanced user.
