How about something like this: watch -n 1 lsof /path/to/files
Or maybe: inotifywait -m -e access --format "%T %f" --timefmt "%D

Excuse me, you are right. I tried again with your "inotifywait" utility and it notifies me when touching a file . It seems that my previous attempt had something wrong in it. But it seems that the "watch" utility brings nothing . Am I right?
intofywait should be event-driven where watch would run the specified command at intervals so it would be a matter of chance to catch a momentary event. You might also be able to see what files had been accessed most recently with 'ls -lurt' in the directory which will sort the most recently accessed file to the end of the list.
