I found and installed iwatch. i want to play around with it. I read through the documentation page and there are a few gaps in my knowledge.
I want to set up the configuration file, run iwatch as a daemon in the back ground, and have the events written to a log on my desktop. I don’t require email notification as it is my own desktop computer.

There are a few questions that come to mind.
How do you intend to start the daemon? Systemd? DE autostart?
What directories are you trying to watch?
Have you tried running it and playing with the command options?
Also I found this which does a better job explaining the config setup, http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/wily/man1/iwatch.1.html
