Why not try "ps -ax" or "ps -aux" to get a list of programs running at
any time? Then examine the crontab files as well and see what's
starting at regular intervals.

You're talking about a long list of services in some cases, so it's not
a case of someone telling you about 3-4 programs.

What are you serving that is only done in memory? If it's a print
server, that's large files that go to the printer and they're written
to the hard drive during output. If you're serving files, of course,
that uses the drive. What service are you providing that doesn't need
to access the drives?
