 Helper scripts:
 - `log`: symlink as the `run` script in your service's log directory to enable logging to `~/.local/log/`
 - `setup-supervise.zsh`: run to create symlinks for `supervise` directories, so they are created in $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR
-- `new-service`: create a new service, executing the given command line. Optionally pass `-l` before any other arguments to also create a logging entry. Example:
+- `new-service`: create a new service, executing the given command line.

+
+    - `-l`, `--log`: create a log directory and symlink `log` script
+    - `-i PROC`, `--import-env PROC`: include import-env script and import environment from process `PROC`
+
+  Example
+  ```
+  ./new-service -l my-daemon --foreground -a -b -c
   ```
-	./new-service -l my-daemon --foreground -a -b -c
