+Usage:
+
+    "${0}" start|stop PORT [BACKEND_HOST BACKEND_PORT]
+
+    PORT          The port this script will listen
+                  (configure netdata to use this as a second backend)
+
+    BACKEND_HOST  The real backend host
+    BACKEND_PORT  The real backend port
+
+    This script can act as fallback backend for netdata.
+    It will receive metrics from netdata, save them to
+    ${FILE}
+    and once netdata reconnects to the real-backend, this script
+    will push all metrics collected to the real-backend too and
+    wait for a failure to happen again.
+
+    Only one netdata can connect to this script at a time.
+    If you need fallback for multiple netdata, run this script
+    multiple times with different ports.
+
+    You can run me in the background with this:
+
+    screen -d -m "${0}" start PORT [BACKEND_HOST BACKEND_PORT]

+	exit 1
