Does anyone please know if it is possible to install incron/incrontab within Cygwin?

I've had a look and the package does not appear on the cygwin website, I wondered if anyone had tried, knew of any method or had any success?

incron relies on inotify, which isn’t emulated by Cygwin. To run on Windows it would have to be re-written using equivalent Windows functionality; see Is there anything like inotify on Windows? for details. The answers to that question give links to various Windows tools which may provide the functionality you’re looking for.
