Debug mode and handling data directory

[whoabuddy]

After submitting logs I found out the default data directory is in /tmp (unless one is set specifically with a flag).

The script currently deletes and downloads the stacks-blockchain repo, but does that affect this data directory? Is a new one created?

Should the script do something with the old one? Extract/compress? Delete?

Does deleting the directory eliminates useful information for troubleshooting?

How much disk space would multiple copies occupy?

Possible fix could be:

• detect if /tmp/stacks-blockchain* folder exists
• tar contents of /tmp/stacks-blockchain* for later retrieval tar -zcvf YYYYMMDD-stacks-testnet-data.tar.gz /tmp/stacks-testnet-randomchar
• delete /tmp/stacks-blockchain* folder

Also consider creating a logs or debug-data folder in home directory for multiple runs.

Reboot clears the /tmp directory, too.

Should I set a working_dir in $HOME by default?
