+
+== Documentation
+The watchdog is to large extent self-explanatory. The following features, however, require a short description.
+
+=== Progress bar
+The progress bar displays the progress of each job that is currently running (status "Running"). The progress is calculated from the current simulation time and the end_time/restart_time of the job. PALM write these information in the file PROGRESS that resides in the temporary directory of the job.
+
+=== Right mouse click: Show details
+Information on the job from the queuing system is displayed
+
+=== Right mouse click: Cancel job
+The job will be canceled without any security query.
+
+=== Right mouse click: Force stop
+Unlike "Cancel job" the job will initiate a proper termination of the run, i.e. data will be processed and possibly restart binary data will be written.
+
+=== Right mouse click: Force restart
+The job will initiate a proper termination of the run, followed by an automatic restart of the job chain. This will only work properly, when the job has been configured for restart runs, otherwise this action is identical to "Force stop".
