Good suggestion but doesn't work with the (increasingly popular)
"Systemd":
$ mkdir /tmp/somedir
$ touch -d "12 days ago" /tmp/somedir/
$ cd /tmp/somedir/
$ sudo systemd-tmpfiles --clean
$ ls /tmp/somedir/
ls: cannot access '/tmp/somedir/': No such file or directory
I would advocate just changing 'tempfile()' so that it recreates the
directory where the file is (the "dirname") before returning the file
path. This would have fixed the issue I ran into. Changing 'tempdir()'
to recreate the directory is another option.
Thanks,
Frederick
