oh good, let's add that option to all programs that read files.

what was readslow(1)'s behaviour on file truncation?  did it
cat the whole file or just display the last n lines?  i was
thinking of some sort of:

    readslow | ps-previewer

checking out stat(2), it's trivial.  use the 'vers' in the Qid:

    Qid is a structure containing path and vers fields, each
    an unsigned long: path is guaranteed to be unique among all
    path names currently on the file server, and vers changes
    each time the file is modified.

so:

    whenmod [ -t timeout ] file cmd [ args ... ]
