hi ,

you can use fuser filename to see if file is in use it will
give you process id where you can check using ps -ef | grep process id to see who is using it

You can use istat command ( man istat) istat filename
to show you when it was last modified

if you have the HISTFILE variable set in your .profile
you can check users history to see if any one vi'ed , / changed your file.

HTH
 

Indeed, I knew for fuser and istat.

The modification is appening during the night.
If there is not a built-in command I'll try your third suggestion. A deamon process with fuser can be a solution to.

Thank u for your reply.
