-RExec stands for Ruby Execute or Remote Execute (depending on how you use it). It provides a number of different things to assist with running Ruby code:
+RExec stands for Remote Execute and provides support for executing processes 
+both locally and remotely. It provides a number of different tools to assist
+with running Ruby code:
 
-* A framework to send Ruby code to a remote server for execution
-* A framework for writing command line daemons (i.e. <tt>start</tt>, <tt>restart</tt>, <tt>stop</tt>, <tt>status</tt>)
-* A comprehensive <tt>Task</tt> class for launching tasks, managing input and output, exit status, etc
-* Basic privilege management code for changing the processes owner
-* A bunch of helpers for various different things (such as reading a file backwards)
-* <tt>daemon-exec</tt> executable for running regular shell tasks in the background

+
+== Comprehensive process management
+
++RExec::Task+ provides a comprehensive wrapper for low level process execution
+and life-cycle management. You can easy spawn new child processes, background
+processes and execute Ruby code in a child instance.
+
+== Light weight bi-directional communication
+
+The +RExec::Connection+ provides a simple process based API for communicating 
+with distant instances of Ruby. These can either be local or remote, such
+as over SSH.
+
+== Simple daemonization
+
+The +RExec::Daemon+ module provides the foundation to develop long-running
+background processes. Simply create a daemon class which inherits from 
++RExec::Daemon::Base+ and you can have a fully featured background daemon 
+with the standard command line interface, e.g. +start+, +restart+, +status+
+and +stop+.
+
+Along with this, a executable is included called +daemon-exec+ which allows
+for any standard shell script to be run as a background process.
