Yes that is a good point, however on some systems like Gentoo /tmp can be set to be wiped on boot. Though relying on /tmp space for even semi-permanent stuff that should remain after reboot is pushing things. Keep in mind the FHS stays that one should not assume files in a /tmp directory to persist between invocations of the program, much less rebooting the system ;) http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.15.html Wikipedia goes as far as to say between reboots :) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_Hierarchy_Standard#Directory_structure -- William L.
