There's a dozen processes runing on that machine at any given time, and any of them may access some files anytime. smbd for instance checks its configuration file every minute or so, and there may be other services that do likewise. BTW, if this machine is a server, wouldn't you expect it to do some work every now and then? Or if you didn't, why do you keep it on all the time? I can't get my head around people who insist on leaving unused machines powered 24/7. --D.
