Can anything like systat(1) present a count, continually?
How about

        while sleep 0.1; do sysctl -n kern.openfiles; done


That's ideal, thanks. I knew about the sysctl, but not how to form a command like the one above.

(I'm a tcsh user, I can easily 'sh' before running the command.)


Or you can write a small program using sysctl(3).

I'd like to monitor, after log in to Plasma (X11), in connection with 
<https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=273669>.
Not sure checking how many files are open will help you.
Looks like "baloo" is using inotify to watch changes on
every file & directory or something. Simulating inotify
with kqueue under FreeBSD doesn't scale well. FreeBSD
should add inotify.

baloo is not used in 273669.

I'm beginning to investigate something unrelated to KDE that has bugged me, on FreeBSD, for a very long time.

Thanks
