In this contribution the focus is on post-AGB binaries. It is now well established that these are often surrounded by stable long-lived circumbinary discs of gas and dust. Here we introduce our monitoring programme with our high-resolution spectrograph HERMES mounted on the 1.2m Mercator telescope. We illustrate the use of time-series high-resolution spectra and show that jets observed in many systems are launched at the location of the companion. The jet is likely originating from a circum-companion accretion disc. The link of these systems to some PNe relies on the detection of similar orbits and hence wide spectroscopic orbits among central stars of PNe. The conclusion is that Keplerian discs as well as circum-companion discs are fundamental to understanding the properties and evolution of these interacting evolved binaries.
