Comment (by eschnett):
I'm afraid that the instructions on these systems are quite clear -- touching files is considered abuse. I would not suggest people to do this without permission from the HPC centres.
However, touching files that will be needed for a currently running or submitted restart is a different issue. We'd need a mechanism to touch these files often enough if the job waits in the queue for a significant amount of time.
