What about lsof(1)¹
man lsof
[...]
+|-r [t[m<fmt>]]
puts lsof in repeat mode. There lsof lists open files as
selected by other options, delays t seconds (default
fifteen), then repeats the listing, delaying and listing
repetitively until stopped by a condition.

¹ For debugging, not that lsof could be the cause.
