I have to agree the name is absolutely terrible. If I google for
"dragonflybsd" and "monitor" the first page of results talks about 4K
displays, laptops, KDE, virtual machine monitors (NVMM), GPUs - none of
which I can guess might be related to the tool in this PR.
Much less evil to rename it ... although I still don't actually know
what it monitors from a read of the PR and a quick search! Maybe files
because of Christos' comment?!
Cheers,
Simon.
