Hi Klemens, I'm a user of openbsd rather than developer at the moment but interested in what's happening.
Why would you put this in sysutils? It seems a strange place rather than net or www or multimedia? The traditional iwatch or gnuwatch is definitely more for sysadmins or users monitoring an ongoing process in my opinion.
