perv watches your project directories and logs events to help you keep track of your time. data can be stored in a mysql or sqlite database. it relies on inotify so it only works on linux.
to get started, run npm install. if using sqlite also run npm install sqlite3.
if using mysql create an empty database to use for storage. copy either
default-mysql.config.json or default-sqlite.config.json to config.json,
editing it to contain access details for your database, an array of minimatch path patterns for files and directories you want to watch, and also
the port you want the 'viewer' web app to run on.
to begin logging events, run 'node perv-watcher.js'. to view logged events, run 'node perv-viewer.js' and point your web browser to the machine and port you're running the viewer on. by default that would be http://localhost:8080/
