Thanks for your response. The server is definitely shutting down. I am running linux, so
unfortunately, no dtrace. However, I did strace the process (with '-f' and
'-ff' so it follows forks), and it never tried to open the file. Atime is also
definitely enabled on this filesystem. If I cat the file, I can see the atime is
modified.

file, and it was the same as when I edited it, not when I started the
server. This makes me think I'm putting the file in the wrong place.
Did the server actually restart?
Is atime turned off on that filesystem?
Something like the following on Solaris or MacOS:
#!/usr/sbin/dtrace -s
syscall::open*:entry
/NULL != strstr(copyinstr(arg0), "xwiki.cfg")/
{
@[execname, copyinstr(arg0)] = count();
}
Will tell you if it's ever opened (or if attempts are made at least).
