That was lwatchd, which is based on a program written by G. Caronni,
but I added a bunch of stuff to it.

I'm fixing it up so that it handles logging of stderr properly, and
then I'll release it as a Debian package.  There are two different
RC5 contests going on that I'm going to package up - so I was going
to package it separately anyways.  (I would have done it earlier,
but I've been suffering with a bad cold)

Cheers,
