+cat << EOF
+This program is an "inotify cron" system. It works like the regular 
+cron but is driven by filesystem events instead of time periods. It 
+contains two programs, a daemon called "incrond" (analogous to crond) 
+and a table manipulator "incrontab" (like "crontab").
+You can use it a similar way as the regular cron. The difference is 
+that the inotify cron handles filesystem events rather than time 
+periods.
+
+Here you can see a few examples where incron is a good solution: 
+  -notifying programs (e.g. server daemons) about changes in 
+   configuration 
+  -guarding changes in critical files (with their eventual recovery) 
+  -file usage monitoring, statistics 
+  -automatic on-crash cleanup 
+  -automatic on-change backup or versioning 
+  -new mail notification (for maildir) 
+  -server upload notification 
+  -installation management (outside packaging systems) 
+  -...and many others
