Does Haiku have a dedicated temporary directory that automatically
gets cleaned up at shutdown? You know, like C:\WINDOWS\TEMP or /var/
tmp?
/var/tmp ;-)
or just /tmp ...
Now that will teach me not to be lazy and search for things in
Terminal, not just in Tracker. Dammit, I miss Midnight Commander!
though actually I'm not sure it's cleaned up at boot yet, as it used
to
be on BeOS.
Doesn't look like it - mine was full of crud.
For what I'm working on, I need to see what is happening in there, so
I symlinked it to ~/config. Now I can open it in Tracker.

It might be worth logging a bug or enhancement for that. I've also had
thoughts of having a simple schedule server (a la cron, but not so
obscure) which could be set up to empty the Trash every month or
whatever.
I tried cleaning it up with a UserShutdownFinishScript, but it looks
like that script is one BeOS convention that didn't make it into Haiku

use:
FINDDIR -l
on the command line to see the list of directories, running "finddir
B_COMMON_TEMP_DIRECTORY" returns what you are looking for.
Yes, I see. Insurance against some crazy distro maker putting it
somewhere else. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to look into finddir.
Many thanks, everybody
