 \section{Use}
 
+The two modes, termination by wall time and termination from file, are
+meant to be independent and can be used together or separately.
+
+The default file checked is
+\texttt{/tmp//cactus\_terminate.\textit{job\_id}},
+where by default, \texttt{\textit{job\_id}} is gotten from the \texttt{PBS\_JOBID}
+environment variable.  If the environment variable
+\texttt{MANUAL\_TERMINATION\_JOB\_ID} is set, that will be used instead
+as the \texttt{\textit{job\_id}}.
+
+In this configuration, any user may terminate the run by putting a '1' into
+the specified file.
+
+The the termination file is removed when the run shuts down.
+
+It should be possible to use thorn \textbf{ManualTermination} with thorn
+\textbf{JobChaining}.  If a job is terminated by \textbf{ManualTermination},
+\textbf{JobChaining} will not attempt to re-queue the simulation.
