-name=tracker home:
-   Sets the tracker home(s) to use. The name is how the tracker is
-   identified in the URL (it's the first part of the URL path). The
-   tracker home is the directory that was identified when you did
+Examples:
+ roundup-server support=/var/spool/roundup-trackers/support

+ roundup-server -d /var/run/roundup.pid -l /var/log/roundup.log \\

+How to use "name=tracker home":
+   These arguments set the tracker home(s) to use. The name is how the
+   tracker is identified in the URL (it's the first part of the URL path).
+   The tracker home is the directory that was identified when you did
    "roundup-admin init". You may specify any number of these name=home
    pairs on the command-line. For convenience, you may edit the
    TRACKER_HOMES variable in the roundup-server file instead.
