How can I get the various shell commands to respect the value in TMPDIR ? sh keeps clogging up /tmp/ with sh$PID temp files. I prefer to use a private temp disk. I have some scripts that sweep out the tmp dir's. It would be nicer if sh <<heredoc theredoc heredoc would put tmp files where I would expect it. What about the tmpname (spelling?) system call ?
