We recently moved, and the layout of the new apartment places my desk
(with FreeBSD server on it) right next to the bedroom wall.  Unfortunately
the construction of said wall is such that the noise made by the hard
drives carries through it rather well.  We've been woken up several days
in a row by the nightly maintenance that runs at 3am.

Is there anything wrong with changing the time that
daily/weekly/monthly maintenance runs to, say, around noon or 1pm in the
afternoon?  Will this be bad for the FreeBSD system in any way, shape or
form?

This is a very lightly used system (basically, serves as our DSL gateway,
and hosts my personal website and e-mail), so we're not particularly
concerned with it bogging down in the middle of the day.

Thanks!
