ppss.sh does not work in a FAT32 filesystem

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi, 

I was trying to run ppss.sh from a FAT32 filesystem, but since it uses
mkfifo on the local directory it does not work. 

ras@desktop:/media/fat32_disk$ mkfifo jsdf
mkfifo: no s’ha pogut crear la cua FIFO «jsdf»: Operation not permitted

That was causing ppss.sh to not work, since it tries to do mkfifo in the
local directory (which was FAT32). 

I made this change to make it work, since /tmp will probably not be in a
FAT32 (although not always)

591c591
<     FIFO=$PPSS_DIR/fifo-$RANDOM-$RANDOM

---
>     FIFO=/tmp/fifo-$RANDOM-$RANDOM

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Please provide any additional information below.

Thank you for your reply. I changed the FIFO path exactly according to your 
suggestion. This will be 
incorporated in the next release of PPSS.
