- How can I get the various shell commands to respect the value
- in TMPDIR ?
-
- sh keeps clogging up /tmp/ with
- sh$PID temp files.
-
- I prefer to use a private temp disk.
-
- I have some scripts that sweep out the tmp dir's.
-
- It would be nicer if sh <<heredoc
- theredoc
- heredoc
-
- would put tmp files where I would expect it.
-
- What about the tmpname (spelling?) system call ?
- Cheers!
-
- Dan.
