+* Overview
+
+Mangemange is a remote management system for Ping903. It allows the user
+to inspect configuration of the running server, add or remove IP
+addresses, synchronize the monitored IP list with the Nagios
+configuration or an SQL database etc.
+
+* Examples
+
+** Identify the running serever
+
+ $ mangemanche ident
+ package ping903
+ pid 3864
+ version 0.4.90
+
+** Inspect the server configuration
+
+ $ mangemanche inspect
+
+** Inspect a particular configuration setting
+
+ $ mangemanche inspect ip-list
+
+** Add an IP address to monitoring
+
+ $ mangemanche ipadd 198.51.100.2
+
+** Import IP addresses from the Nagios configuration
+
+ $ mangemanche nagios
+
+* Installation
+
+The usual incantations apply:
+
+ perl Makefile.PL
+ make install
+
+* Documentation
+
+Run "mangemanche --help" for a detailed help.
+Run "mangemanche -?" for a list of available subcommands.
+Run "mangemanche COMMAND --help" for a detailed help for a particular
+COMMAND.
+
+Manual pages are also installed, so "man mangemanche" will give you
+the manual for the tool, and, e.g. "man inspect" will give you a
+manpage for the "mangemanche inspect" subcommand.
+
+* Notes
+
+If you plan to use "mangemanche nagios" and your Nagios configuration
+makes use of multiple template inheritance[1], you will need a modified
+version of the Nagios::Config module, available from [2]. The authors
+of the module have been informed about a proposed change[3], so
+hopefully it will be included in the next release.
