Create temporary directory using mktemp #511

Closed ghost closed 3 years ago

On some systems, TMP_DIR is not /tmp. Using the mktemp -dcommand to generate it automatically. Temporary files removed by simply removing the $TMP_DIR.

It might also be worthwhile adding code like:

# Make sure it gets removed even if the script exits abnormally.
trap "exit 1"           HUP INT PIPE QUIT TERM
trap 'rm -rf "$TMP_DIR"' EXIT
