📄 Description

I was very confused for awhile trying to figure out how to go from act -l, to "run a specific job".

Since the column in act -l is titled "Job ID", i figured that adding the literal text "job ID" to the help output for -j would have clued me in immediately as to which command I needed to run.

Happy to make whatever changes you like, but I'm hoping this is a trivial enough change :-)
