Basically check for existence of "/dev/shm" (exists on my cygwin). if "tmp" didn't already exist, create it w/options similar to /tmp (only owner can delete/edit): mkdir -m 1777 /tmp/shm/tmp **Warning, "writes" to /dev/shm/tmp (or /dev/mem) can fill up your system's memory, so its only good for "small files" (small being well under your system's free memory amount). -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
