Would anything happen to the database if I ran "myisamchk --silent 
/usr/data/mysql/*/*.MYI" when I havent run "FLUSH TABLES" first?

As it states in the documentation:
If mysqld is running, you must force a sync/close of all tables with FLUSH TABLES and 
ensure that no one is using the tables while you are running myisamchk. In MySQL 
Version 3.23 the easiest way to avoid this problem is to use CHECK TABLE instead of 
myisamchk to check tables. 

Or is that only to avoid seeing:
myisamchk: warning: 1 clients is using or hasn't closed the table properly

Its very important that I get an answer soon... Please and Thank you
