If I have a server that has more than one application connected to a
given database and I observe a file datestamp on that database that is
very old (say a few months back), is it OK not to panic because
the "old" file stamp does not mean that the database has
transactions "hanging" waiting to be posted? (FB v 1.5.x)

Am I still correct in thinking that the date stamp is still "old"
because the file datestamp does not get updated until the last
connection to the db is closed? Even if we have done daily sweeps and
gbaks, the transactions are being written to the file but the date
will not change until the last connection is closed?

Thanks!
