Hey, thanks for the contribution!

Can you expand more on the usage, maybe in the documentation? For example how does the user know about the various groups that are available? What commands is being used to start and stop the groups? How do you get the status and logs of the various services?

Sure, I'll try to look into it tonight.

I took a stab at writing some documentation (sorry for the delay, life got in the way).
