Manage temp files and directories<br> etc, etc, etc.</p> <p>If you are interested, see: <br> <a href="https://github.com/ProcessorMicro/useful-bash-functions" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://github.com/ProcessorMicro/useful-bash-functions</a> </p> <p>I have checked and re-cheched every function so, of course, there are many undiscovered bugs.</p> <p>Please (politely?) respond here if you find any issues, have any questions or if you have suggestions for improvement.</p> bash programming linux coding
