Program to show HDD Acitivity?

Is there a program that can show if there is activity on the HDD/CF in cases where the LEDs are not connected?

A program like SnoopDOS ?

What type of HDD activity? When files are read/write?

Yes, when files are read/write. Just to know when it's secure to turn off the machine in cases where LEDs are not connected to

Amiga OS doesn't have automatic read/write access function. This is also true for the most programs. Usually write access only happens if the user wants it. I.e. the user has the control and knows what is going on in contrast to other systems. However, it the tools are working you can monitor that there are no silent writes.
