Mmm, except that it isn't going to be a 'temporary' resource. Sometime soon we'll be writing httop, htps and other stuff that will let us keep track of what's breaking. If we could dispense entirely with the need for /tmp files that would be nice. Mmm, have you noticed that way that accidently running a new httpd will trash the entry in logs/httpd.pid, thereby stuffing all the rotation and sig -HUP scripts that rely on the file. Mmm, gunna have to find a new way to start sentences. Ay.
