How sure are you that NOBODY will EVER be on-line late at
night or early in the morning?  Can your system be accessed
from "the outside" via modem or internet?  Do you have any
server or listener jobs running, e.g. odbc, web, or ftp
servers?

Don't underestimate your users' nocturnal proclivities,
especially if they can access the system from home or a
hotel room.
