Some versions of Unix have file system auditing capabilities. Since you
haven't told us what type of Unix you're running, we can't tell whether
yours does or how to enable it.
If it's happening on a regular basis, it's probably due to a cron job.
You could write a job that checks for its existence every 10 minutes,
which would narrow down the time when it's being deleted. Then you can
scan for cron jobs that run at that time.
