It appears that the system is reminding the administrator to renew its
public key certificate for HTTPS/ssl/pki authentication, encryption,
and signing. If the systems certificate is not renewed, then the key
must be regenerated anew again. Furthermore, certwatch is a daemon
like tool to monitor the .crt files date of expiration. Typically the
files are signed by a CA authority such as Truste/Verisign/Symatec/DOD
et cetera. However, if that particular .crt holds 'encrypted'
information it might be wise to keep a copy decrypted somewhere so
that it can be re-encrypted with the new keys... Otherwise you are in
the rapids with no paddle or pfd and unable to access previously
encrypted information.
