+#Idle Whacker
+
+## What the?
+
+Idle whacker polls a given url periodically so that the app server never goes to sleep.
+
+## How the?
+
+Idle whacker installs a crontab entry on a given (host) machine which then uses `ab` (apache-bench) to generate traffic to a given URL periodically.
+
+## Installation
+
+Idle whacker depends on `ab` being available on the command line. `ab` (apache-bench) can be installed via `apt-get install apache2-utils` - this is a really small util, with libreadline at its only dependency.
+
+    gem install idle_whacker
+
+## Usage
+
+    > rake -T
+    rake idle_whacker:install  # Install the whack
+    rake idle_whacker:remove   # Removes all whacks
+    rake idle_whacker:show     # Shows all the whacking installed
+    rake idle_whacker:test     # Test a sample whack
+    
+_A sample session of installing a whack_
+
+    > rake idle_whacker:install
+    URL to whack, eg(http://www.foobar-server.com/lazy_boy.html): http://www.nest.com/about/   #URL to poll for.
+    Whacker install host eg(www.foobar-server.com): www.whacker.com                            #Machine where the crontab will be installed
+    Username: deployer                                                                         #Login to the above install host
+    Password (Leave this blank if ssh keys are setup):
+
+    Installing crontab entry..
